Lawyers accuse Meta of 'culture of privilege abuse' in teen safety lawsuits

Plaintiffs suing Meta over alleged harm to teens say the company's Teen Accounts team ordered baseball caps reading 'a/c priv,' calling it part of a 'culture of privilege abuse.' Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers already called some of Meta's privilege redactions 'entirely inappropriate,' while Meta asks for time through the end of the year to re-review them.

• The Teen Accounts team ordered caps reading 'a/c priv' in 2024
• Judge called some of Meta's privilege redactions 'entirely inappropriate'
• Meta de-designated about 65,000 withheld documents in April 2025
• Meta seeks until the end of the year to re-review other redactions
