TL;DR

Whistleblowers allege that Meta has restricted research on the potential negative impacts of its VR products on kids and teens, with claims that legal teams have vetoed studies on youth safety since 2022. Meta denies these allegations, citing approved studies and product updates aimed at safety, and the issue is set to be discussed in a Senate hearing. Additionally, a lawsuit has been filed against Meta's WhatsApp over privacy concerns.
