> A New Mexico judge ordered Meta on Thursday to pay more than $500 million in a child safety case. The judge found that the social media company created a public nuisance and harmed children. The ruling follows a March jury verdict that awarded the state $375 million. That verdict held Meta liable for exposing children to online predators and other harms.
