> A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta to introduce new safeguards for children. Advocates are hoping courts elsewhere will follow the ruling. In what is described as a landmark decision against Meta, the judge compared the company’s social media platforms to factories. The comparison underscores the serious concerns surrounding children’s safety on those platforms.
