A New Mexico judge ordered Meta Platforms to pay more than $900 million and restrict how much time young users in the state can spend on its apps, sharply raising the cost of a landmark child safety verdict against Mark Zuckerberg’s social media giant. The civil trial centered on allegations that Meta violated state consumer protection laws and misled New Mexico residents about the safety of its platforms. The jury ultimately determined that Meta should pay $375 million based on the number of violations found. Meta faces thousands of lawsuits from state attorneys general, school districts and individual plaintiffs alleging the company prioritized growth over the safety of its underage users. Another trial, brought by four state attorneys general, is set to begin jury selection in Oakland, California, next week.
