Big Tech = Big Verdicts
Meta faced two landmark jury verdicts within 48 hours, beginning with a New Mexico jury awarding $375 million in damages for alleged failures to protect children and misleading safety claims.

Both cases now head toward further hearings on public nuisance claims and potential additional damages.
