Massachusetts's Attorney General's Office announced on Monday 23 October that it would provide an update on Tuesday 24 October regarding an investigation from many states into Meta Platforms Inc., and allegations that children were victims through its subsidiary, Instagram.

The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office led by Andrea Joy Campbell stated that they jointly led a cross-political investigation that began in 2021.

The investigation highlights allegations that Meta is promoting Instagram to children despite potentially dangerous, state-states said in 2021.

"We are disappointed that instead of working productively with companies in the industry to create clear and age-appropriate standards for many applications used by teens, the attorneys general chose this path without indicating what action the states would take," a Meta spokesperson said.

The states of Connecticut and Vermont will discuss the lawsuit on Tuesday but do not say which companies are involved. Tennessee and Virginia plan to hold a press conference on Meta or Big Tech.
