Show Notes
New Mexico jury hears closing arguments in landmark trial against Meta, accused of addicting kids to platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Prosecutors claim Meta knew teens were spending too much time online and losing control, yet failed to enforce age limit or stop harmful content. Defense argues Meta deploys safety tools and has employees dedicated to safety, but U.S. laws limit data collection on young kids. Prosecutors highlight internal research showing one in three teens faced problematic use, calling it addiction that Meta hid. Meta calls penalty demand shocking and says the state cherry-picked evidence. Jury now decides on consumer protection violations, with a second phase ahead where a judge will weigh if Meta created a public nuisance. California jury deliberates similar case against Meta and YouTube.
