A federal judge said Mark Zuckerberg is not personally liable in over two dozen lawsuits accusing his company of causing social media addiction in children.
Plaintiffs say Meta knew Instagram and Facebook posed health risks to its users, especially kids.
The judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence that Zuckerberg personally directed the suppression of information about the dangers of social media.
The lawsuits come amid increasing scrutiny of social media companies and their impact on children's mental health.
