The ruling came down about 10 minutes before 5 pm in a release sent out by the First Judicial District Court.
The ruling is the second in a two-part civil trial between the social media giant and the state over its liability in the state’s mental health crisis.
"Today's ruling marks a landmark victory for the people of New Mexico and for families across the country," it reads in part.
The jury imposed $375 million in civil penalties against Mark Zuckerberg’s company, finding it violated the state's Unfair Trade Practices Act.
“Today's decision is a victory for every parent who has worried about what social media is doing to their child and every child who deserves to grow up safer online.”
