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. The ruling follows accusations that Meta ignored internal warnings about child exploitation on Instagram and Facebook. A separate Los Angeles County jury later found both Meta and Google liable for knowingly designing addictive platforms that harm young users. Both cases now head toward further hearings on public nuisance claims and potential additional damages.
