"The jury's verdict is a historic victory for every child and family who has paid the price for Meta's choice to put profits over kids' safety. Meta executives knew their products harmed children, disregarded warnings from their own employees, and lied to the public about what they knew."
"New Mexico is proud to be the first state to hold Meta accountable in court for misleading parents, enabling child exploitation, and harming kids. The substantial damages the jury ordered Meta to pay should send a clear message to big tech executives that no company is beyond the reach of the law."
The jury in New Mexico found Meta liable for misleading consumers regarding the safety of its platforms and endangering children. This verdict marks New Mexico as the first state to win a trial against a major tech company for harming young people. Meta was ordered to pay $375 million in civil penalties for violating consumer protection laws. The Attorney General emphasized the importance of this verdict for child safety and indicated further legal actions to ensure stronger protections for children on Meta's platforms.
