Meta’s historic loss in court could cost a lot more than $375 million

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez secured a $375 million judgment against Meta in a child safety case, and the focus is now shifting to a public nuisance trial. This next phase will determine potential court-ordered changes to Meta's platforms for New Mexico users, including age verification, restrictions on end-to-end encryption for minors, and usage limits, which could significantly impact Meta and the broader social media industry.
