Newly unsealed court documents reveal that Meta employees discussed plans to discredit social media critic Jonathan Haidt, who has been vocal about the negative effects of social media on teen mental health. The documents show Meta’s efforts to convince media and academics to reject Haidt’s claims, amid ongoing lawsuits accusing Meta of contributing to a teen mental health crisis. These revelations highlight Meta’s focus on protecting its reputation rather than addressing the core issues raised by critics. The legal battle continues as courts review thousands of company documents related to these claims.
