Too Long; Didn't Read

California contends that Meta violated Business and Professions Code section 17500 by allegedly making untrue or misleading statements to induce public use of its platforms. The state highlights Meta's representations, including those described in earlier paragraphs, as misleading about the nature and safety of its platforms.
