Meta Clamps Down on Lawyer Ads Recruiting Social Media Addiction Plaintiffs

Meta is pulling ads that seek to recruit clients for social-media addiction lawsuits across its platforms after recent verdicts that could widen platform liability. Advertising from national firms linked youth mental health harms to features like infinite scrolling and filters, and Meta says it won’t allow trial lawyers to profit from its platforms while lawsuits proceed. The move underscores ongoing scrutiny of youth safety online, with Meta bracing for potential losses and a broader global push for tighter social‑media regulation.

Meta's Muse Spark Prompts Health Data Uploads, Stoking Privacy and Safety Fears

WIRED tests Muse Spark, Meta's health-focused AI, which encourages users to paste lab results and biometric data for analysis, but privacy risks loom since data can be stored to train models and used for ads, HIPAA protections don’t apply to consumer AI, and experts warn the tool is not a doctor and can give risky guidance (including an extreme fasting plan).

Meta launches Muse Spark, the Alexandr Wang–led AI model

Meta unveiled Muse Spark, its first AI model developed under Alexandr Wang, aiming to narrow the gap with OpenAI and Anthropic. The model will power queries in the Meta AI app and Meta.ai, with plans to expand to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and accepts voice, text, and image inputs but outputs text. It includes modes like a fast query mode and a 'shopping mode' tied to user data; an open-source version is planned. While competitive on several tasks, it lags in areas like coding. All flavors are free but may be rate-limited, and Meta’s privacy policy indicates broad data use for AI features.

Two juries in New Mexico and Los Angeles found Meta liable for harming minors and YouTube liable in LA, treating the platforms as defective products and signaling a potential shift around liability shields like Section 230; if upheld on appeal, the rulings could trigger multimillion-dollar penalties and larger settlements, but the ultimate effects on platform design, regulation, and free expression remain uncertain.

Meta Bear Market: AI Upside Could Spark a Turn

Meta Platforms has fallen about 35% from 2025 highs amid a bear market, while management continues ramping AI investment. The piece argues the AI push may justify higher outlays and a rerating, but investors want monetization beyond ads. With a forward P/E near 17.4x—below the S&P 500—the author views the drop as overdone and sees a compelling buy case given Meta’s scale and execution history despite near-term headwinds.

Verdicts push back on social-media design claims, signaling a new liability era

A Los Angeles jury found Meta's Instagram and Google's YouTube were designed to addict children, awarding $6 million in LA and a separate $375 million verdict against Meta in New Mexico, with both companies planning appeals. The rulings could weaken platform protections under Section 230, spur tighter safeguards and parental controls, and unleash waves of similar lawsuits that could reshape how social networks operate and are held accountable for harm to minors.
