A jury in New Mexico found Meta liable for violating consumer protection laws in a civil trial over child exploitation. The jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million after ruling against the company on every count. The case centered around allegations that Meta knew its platform put children at risk and failed to implement safety measures. Internal documents revealed Meta’s knowledge of the harms children were facing on its apps despite public statements. Meta plans to appeal the verdict and faces further legal battles over child safety issues. The trial is seen as a landmark victory for families affected by Meta’s safety lapses.
