Meta's Rare Selloff Deepens as Thousands of Lawsuits Threaten Years of Tobacco-Style Fights

Meta Platforms is currently confronting extensive legal challenges, including a notable case in California, as part of thousands of similar lawsuits filed against it and other major technology companies such as TikTok, YouTube, and Snap across various state and federal courts. A report from the Wall Street Journal indicates that legal experts believe an adverse judgment against tech giants like Meta and Google could potentially trigger widespread mass litigation. This scenario, legal professionals highlighted, draws parallels to the protracted legal campaigns faced by the tobacco industry in the 1990s and could similarly extend for many years.
