Lawyer for Meta says states claim there are unfair practicespublished at 19:33 BST<\/p>\n

Schmidt says the case being made against Meta is about three things. <\/p>\n
Firstly, the states bringing the case say there are unfair practices – specifically 32 Meta features. <\/p>\n
The second refers to alleged misstatements made by the company, including some 50 over the
\ncourse of a few years, and the third is the claim made by the states about child privacy.<\/p>\n
He says the attorneys general must prove that Meta knew there were features
\naimed at kids but didn’t remove them. <\/p>\n
The case is not about “hook, harvest, harm,” he says, referring to the earlier allegations made by the Californian
\nlawyer.<\/p>\n
The states suing Meta are not bringing people affected as witnesses, he says. <\/p>\n
“They are not going to bring people from their states to say ‘I suffered harm or I was deceived,'” Schmidt says. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lawyer for Meta says states claim there are unfair practicespublished at 19:33 BST 19:33 BST Schmidt says the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":278751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-742119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/742119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=742119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/742119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=742119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=742119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=742119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
