The trial against Meta in a federal court in Oakland, California, is now in its second week. If convicted, the company faces the risk of huge fines and demands for major changes to how platforms like Facebook and Instagram operate.

Prosecutors from 29 US states are pursuing the case against the tech giant, which is accused of violating consumer protection and privacy laws.

Meta has estimated the fine at $1.4 trillion (approximately SEK 13.3 trillion) if it were to lose the lawsuit. If it reaches a settlement, the compensation claim would likely be significantly lower.
