最新披露的内部文件显示，社交媒体巨头Meta因通过成瘾性产品伤害未成年人再次被起诉 1。针对科技公司的新研究指出，它们正使用与烟草和化石燃料行业相同的策略，即通过资助或干预科学研究来延迟科学共识的形成及监管进程 1。
具体而言，披露的文件显示Meta曾计划抹黑心理学家乔纳森·海特（Jonathan Haidt） 1。同时，Meta内部研究人员抱怨律师阻止他们进行涉及青少年心理健康的平台研究 1。此外，Meta曾计划与国家科学院（National Academies of Sciences）合作，目标是“获得提出评估的功劳”并“极大地塑造他们将探讨的问题性质” 1。如果无法充分影响国家科学院的研究，Meta有替代计划排除对其产品功能的评估 1。面对诉讼压力，法官拒绝了Meta将风险内部通信置于律师-客户特权保护下的策略，从而揭示了其干扰科学共识的手段 1。
Meta faces renewed legal scrutiny for allegedly harming minors through its addictive social media products 1. Recent filings suggest the tech giant is employing strategies historically associated with the tobacco and fossil fuel industries 1. A new study alleges that these corporations are actively working to delay scientific consensus and regulatory oversight by interfering with research processes 1. This development draws parallels between current tech industry practices and past efforts by other sectors to protect their business models from health-based regulations 1.
Internal documents disclosed in the litigation reveal that Meta planned to discredit prominent psychologist Jonathan Haidt 1. The documents also indicate that Meta suppressed internal research into how its platforms affect adolescent mental health 1. Legal counsel reportedly blocked researchers within Meta from conducting studies focused on youth well-being 1. Simultaneously, the company sought to shape the scope of external reviews by partnering with the National Academies of Sciences 1. Meta’s stated goal was to claim credit for initiating assessments while heavily influencing the questions asked 1. If sufficient control could not be exerted, an alternative plan existed to exclude evaluations of specific product features 1. A judge recently rejected Meta’s attempt to shield these communications under attorney-client privilege, thereby exposing the extent of the company’s interference with scientific consensus 1.
