"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 jury awarded the lesser amount of $375 million, but we will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta's platforms that offer stronger protections for children."
"Over the course of a decade, Meta has failed over and over again to act honestly and transparently. It's failed to act to protect young people in this state. It is up to you to finish this job."
"It's clear that young people are spending too much time on Meta's products; they've lost control. Meta knew that, and it didn't disclose it."
Meta has been found liable in New Mexico for child safety violations, with the state accusing it of misleading parents and enabling child exploitation. The jury awarded $375 million in penalties, significantly less than the proposed $2.2 billion. New Mexico's Attorney General plans to seek further penalties and changes to Meta's platforms for better child protection. Meta intends to appeal the verdict, asserting its commitment to safety and transparency while defending its practices regarding harmful content and user protection.
