The court also noted that ordering verification of children’s ages only for Meta and not other social media companies would be “inequitable and unduly injurious” to the company. A report shows how parents feel about their teens' social media use and an expert comments on what schools can do with the information. The court also ordered Meta to report on its progress twice a year on how it’s complying with the abatement measures. Meta has settled some lawsuits brought by school districts over what they allege is the addictive nature of its social media products and increased costs for addressing students’ mental health. “America is not going to pass a law that bans social media,” Edelson said.
