New Mexico jurors examine Meta's knowledge of child social media risks

Jurors are considering evidence in a New Mexico trial alleging Meta knowingly exposed children to risks on its social media platforms. State prosecutors claim Meta failed to disclose dangers like mental health issues and exploitation. Meta's defense highlights its safety features, though acknowledges some harmful content bypasses them. The trial, nearing its seventh week, could result in billions in sanctions if Meta is found to have violated consumer protection laws. A second phase will address public nuisance claims.
