Meta lawyers are using attorney-client privilege to withhold evidence in lawsuits over teen mental health harm, with critics alleging the claim is applied too broadly. Internal documents reveal the Instagram Teen Accounts team (Project Nido) ordered branded baseball caps reading 'a/c priv,' which plaintiff lawyers cite as evidence of a culture of privilege abuse at the company.
Background
