An Oakland trial expected to last seven weeks will examine claims by Colorado, Kentucky, California and New Jersey that Meta engineered Instagram and Facebook to keep young users hooked and misled consumers about safety. The states seek an order requiring age restrictions and removal of infinite scroll. Prior jury verdicts backed other cases, and a New Mexico judge recently ordered $567 million and platform changes.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
