Meta Platforms' stock fell 4% amid the start of a major youth-harm trial involving 29 states accusing the company of manipulating young users and violating privacy laws. The trial, held in Oakland, features testimony from CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri, with potential damages up to $1.4 trillion. Meanwhile, Meta's costs surged 55% against 28% revenue growth, driven by R&D, legal charges, and severance, raising investor concerns about profitability. Competitors Pinterest and Snap gained on the day, highlighting Meta-specific challenges rather than sector-wide issues. Investors will watch closely for trial developments and Meta's future spending guidance.
