The state of New Jersey is one of the four plaintiffs.<\/p>\n
The trial is taking place in federal court in Oakland, California.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit, accusing Meta of contributing to a youth mental health crisis, could cost the company more than a trillion dollars.<\/p>\n
Meta is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n
In addition to New Jersey, the states of California, Colorado and Kentucky are the other plaintiffs.<\/p>\n
25 other states, including Pennsylvania, have also filed suits against meta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s taken nearly three years, but a lawsuit against tech giant, Meta, is set to begin Tuesday.
