Suffolk County Superior Court Judge Peter Krupp in Boston, in a decision made public on Friday, rejected Meta’s request to dismiss claims by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell that it violated state consumer protection law and created a public nuisance.
Meta and a spokesperson for Campbell had no immediate comment.
The ruling came days after a federal judge in California on Tuesday rejected a request by the Facebook and Instagram operator to dismiss lawsuits by more than 30 states accusing it of fueling mental health problems among teens by making its social media platforms addictive.
Massachusetts was one of a handful of states that pursued separate claims in state court, rather than federal, when it sued in October 2023.
