"Zuckerberg's Bid to Dodge Personal Liability in Instagram Addiction Lawsuits"

Mark Zuckerberg is seeking to be dropped from two dozen lawsuits alleging that his actions and Meta's have caused social media addiction in children, arguing that individuals cannot be held personally liable for corporate acts. His legal team contends that there is a clear distinction between his personal liability and his role as CEO, and that executives are typically shielded from personal liability in corporate law. However, if it's determined that Meta had a duty to disclose information related to social media risks for kids, the CEO could potentially be held liable for concealing it, which could have implications for other lawsuits against social media giants' CEOs.
