A New Mexico jury found Meta liable on all counts of violating the state's Unfair Practices Act, ordering the company to pay $375 million for concealing known risks of child sexual exploitation and mental health harms on Facebook and Instagram. The landmark verdict—the first jury finding of its kind against a social media company—signals a potential inflection point in litigation that legal experts compare to the reckoning faced by tobacco and opioid manufacturers, with more than 40 state attorneys general pursuing similar cases.
