Judge dismisses some claims against Zuckerberg in lawsuits alleging Facebook/Instagram harm to children, but Meta remains a defendant.

Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers dismissed some claims against Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a dozen lawsuits accusing him of concealing harm caused by Facebook and Instagram to children. The judge ruled that plaintiffs could not rely on Zuckerberg's comparative knowledge about Meta's products to establish he personally owed such a duty to each plaintiff. However, Meta remains a defendant in the ongoing lawsuits.
