“Meta on Thursday began removing advertisements from attorneys who were seeking clients that claim to have been harmed by social media while under the age of 18. This comes just two weeks after Meta and YouTube were found negligent in a landmark California case about social media addiction [sic]. Lawyers across the country now are seeking new plaintiffs, in the hopes of bringing a class action lawsuit that could result in lucrative verdicts. … ‘We’re actively defending ourselves against these lawsuits and are removing ads that attempt to recruit plaintiffs for them,’ a Meta spokesperson tells Axios. ‘We will not allow trial lawyers to profit from our platforms while simultaneously claiming they are harmful.'” (04/09/26)
