International Cyber Digest(@IntCyberDigest):‼️ BREAKING: 29 US states opened trial against Meta in Oakland federal court today, alleging it designed Instagram and Facebook to addict children and unlawfully collected minors' data. Jurors were shown an internal email to Instagram chief Adam Mosseri naming "teen time spent" as the goal, and said staff called the app a drug and themselves pushers. Meta says penalties could reach $1.4 trillion, close to its entire market value. The states' attorneys general told a hearing last week the figure is likelier near $200 billion, roughly three years of Meta's after-tax profit. Zuckerberg is expected to testify during the trial.
