The revolutionary guard said Wednesday, "It has targeted U.S. military sites in

Bahrain and Kuwait." A new lawsuit accuses the homeland security department of sharing a silent application details with Iran's government, and Pierskomenopostio reports that the allegations are based on interviews with detainees.

The case centers on claims that MetUp violated child safety laws and misled consumers about the addictive nature of Facebook and Instagram. The maximum possible damages estimated by States is nearly the same as MetUp's $1.5 trillion valuation. But States must first win the trial, and if they prevail, damages will be determined by

the court. The case this fall in Oakland follows two major courtroom losses for Meta in Los Angeles

and New Mexico, where a jury awarded the state $375 million after finding the company
