New Mexico's landmark trial against Meta, now heading to jury deliberation after six weeks of testimony, is the first state-led case alleging child sexual exploitation by a social media company to reach a verdict. Attorney General Raúl Torrez accuses Meta of violating state consumer protection laws by concealing known dangers to children on Instagram and Facebook, with potential penalties reaching billions of dollars. The outcome could reshape liability standards for the entire social media industry and affect more than 1,400 pending lawsuits against the company.
