BOSTON, April 10 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms must face ⁠a lawsuit by Massachusetts' attorney general alleging the company designed its Instagram social media platform to addict children, the state's top ⁠court ruled on Friday.

The ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court marked the first time a state high court has ‌considered whether a federal law that generally shields internet companies from lawsuits over content posted by their users would also bar claims that companies like Meta knowingly addicted young users.
