About this case

A group of Italian families alleges that Meta’s Facebook and Instagram platforms allowed more than 3.5 million children between ages seven and 14 to use social media despite being below the permitted age. The class action seeks stricter age-verification practices, and a Milan court has set a final hearing for November 2026, indicating that the litigation is ongoing.
