- Meta发言人安迪·斯通在一份声明中表示：“我们正在积极为这些诉讼辩护，并且将删除试图为这些诉讼招募原告的广告。我们不会允许出庭律师在声称我们的平台有害的同时，利用我们的平台牟利。”
- Meta、谷歌、Snapchat和TikTok面临数千起诉讼，这些诉讼指控这些公司设计的平台正在加剧青少年心理健康危机。
- 参议员们在信中写道，删除这些广告“无非是不惜一切代价维护有害商业模式的企图”。
- 布莱克本正在田纳西州竞选州长，并经常向选民宣传她在社交媒体监管方面的工作。克洛布查尔正在明尼苏达州竞选州长。

WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) – Meta should not have removed advertisements from attorneys seeking clients that claim they were harmed by social media platforms, two U.S. senators said on Friday in a letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

- Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn and Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar wrote a letter to Zuckerberg criticizing his company’s choice to purge the ads from its platforms after Axios first reported it and Meta confirmed it.
- The attorneys were trying to recruit new plaintiffs for ongoing lawsuits over social media addiction.
- “We’re actively defending ourselves against these lawsuits and are removing ads that attempt to recruit plaintiffs for them,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a statement. “We will not allow trial lawyers to profit from our platforms while simultaneously claiming they are harmful.”
- Meta, Google, Snapchat and TikTok are facing thousands of lawsuits accusing the companies of designing platforms that are fueling a youth mental health crisis.
- The removal of the advertisements is “nothing more than an attempt to preserve a harmful business model at all costs,” the senators wrote in the letter.
- Blackburn is running for governor in Tennessee and often touts her work on social media regulation to voters. Klobuchar is running for governor of Minnesota.
