PHOENIX — Arizona is joining a growing list of states using the social media company Meta on grounds that the company developed"psychologically manipulative features" to hook kids and teens on its platforms, Attorney General Kris Mayes said Tuesday morning.

"To maximize their profits, Meta targeted young users calling them a 'valuable and untapped market' and then designed its platform to maximize the amount of time that children and young teens spend on those platforms," Mayes said in a press conference on Tuesday. "If you talk to teachers, they will tell you that social media is one of the worst things that has happened to them as teachers, as schools," Mayes said of the wide-reaching mental health crisis in young people.
