Mark Zuckerberg is arguing he can't be held liable for kids' Instagram addiction just because he's the boss. He may be right.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is seeking to be dropped from two dozen lawsuits filed against Meta (formerly Facebook) and himself by parents and schools accusing him of causing social media addiction among children. Zuckerberg's legal team argues that individuals cannot be held personally liable for the actions of a corporation. While a ruling in his favor would release him from personal liability, the lawsuits against Meta would still continue. If Zuckerberg is found liable, it may set a precedent for similar lawsuits against CEOs of other social media companies.
