The owner of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp is now on the hook for $375 million in civil penalties for violating New Mexico's consumer protection laws.
New Mexico's Attorney General Raul Torres calls the verdict a historic win, making the state the first to hold a tech company liable for harming young people.
Torres says Meta knew its platforms posed risks to children, ignored internal warnings, and misled the public.
Meta says it will appeal.
Either way, the state's case is not over.
It's also asking the company to be required to change its business practices, for example, by implementing stronger age verification and removing predators from its platform.

The program includes incentives for child care programs that boost pay for entry level staff and commit to being open at least ten hours a day.
The new expansion is being implemented through the regulatory process, but will require more funding from the state legislature.
