Uvalde Families Challenge Meta Over Instagram Gun Ads
Reading
Families of Uvalde victims sued Instagram. They said it let gun makers show guns to young people. Meta's lawyers want the case to stop because of this lawsuit.
In 2022, there was a shooting at Robb Elementary School. Nineteen students and two teachers died in Uvalde, Texas. The families think Instagram did not stop gun ads for kids.
Instagram had ads with guns, the lawsuit claims. One ad showed Santa Claus with a gun. Another showed a gun in a kitchen and the gunman used Instagram a lot.
Meta said the families could not prove the shooter saw the ads. They also said the ads did not break Meta's rules. The families said Meta knows more about users than anyone else does.
The families made a fake profile and saw gun ads. Meta said the test was done recently, not in 2021. The families have also sued Daniel Defense and Activision for their losses.
