ROME (Reuters) -A group of Italian families has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, accusing the platforms of failing to enforce age restrictions and using addictive features that harm children's mental health.
The case asks a Milan court to require the platforms to adopt stronger age-verification systems for users under 14, in line with Italian law.
