"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, said New Mexico Atty. Gen. Raúl Torrez."
"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."
"We respectfully disagree with the verdict and will appeal, Meta said in a statement. We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms."
A jury in Santa Fe, New Mexico, awarded $375 million to plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Meta, claiming the company knowingly harmed children. The verdict came swiftly, contrasting with ongoing deliberations in a similar case in Los Angeles County. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez stated the verdict serves as a historic victory for children and families affected by Meta's practices. Meta plans to appeal the decision, asserting its commitment to user safety and the challenges of managing harmful content on its platforms.
