Meta is facing what could be its most consequential trial yet, as 29 state attorneys general accuse the tech giant of knowingly designing Facebook and Instagram to addict children and misleading the public about the risks. The states are seeking civil penalties that could approach $200 billion and changes to core features like infinite scroll and autoplay, while Meta says the claims are unsubstantiated and that it has built strong protections for teens. The outcome of the federal trial could reshape how social media platforms are designed and open the door to greater liability for companies across the industry. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin examines why this case could become Big Tech’s “Big Tobacco” moment, and what a loss could mean for Meta’s business and the future of social media.

The Meta Trial That Could Reshape Facebook And Instagram

Micron was founded in the basement of a dental office in Boise, Idaho, nearly 50 years ago and has remained an under-the-radar semiconductor company for decades. Now, suddenly it’s minting millionaires and spending $50 billion to build new factories that are transforming its hometown into America’s latest boomtown. Unprecedented demand for memory has increased its stock value more than 10-fold since 2024. Sprawling homes are selling above listing price and Idaho has the fastest statewide population growth in the country. CNBC talked to wealth managers and real estate agents who now primarily work with Micron employees, jewelry store owners who say business is booming, and other Boise locals concerned about increasing traffic and strain on infrastructure, power and water.
