U.S. Senators Demand Meta Documents on Social Media Harm

The bipartisan request follows a whistleblower hearing and a newly unsealed complaint by the Massachusetts Attorney General.

U.S. Senators have demanded documents from Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding the company's research into the harm its social media platforms may cause to children.
The demand follows a hearing with a new whistleblower last week and a newly unsealed complaint filed by the Massachusetts Attorney General.
Newly unsealed disclosures suggest Meta executives had direct knowledge of the harm related to its products and concealed this information from Congress and the public.
Dozens of U.S. states are suing Meta and its Instagram unit, accusing them of fueling a youth mental health crisis by making their social media platforms addictive.
The senators have asked for the documents to be provided by November 30.
