San Francisco ¨C A New Mexico judge on Thursday ordered Meta to pay more than half a billion dollars over the state¡¯s claims that the social media giant created a ¡°public nuisance¡± and harmed children.
Meta was previously ordered to pay $375 million in damages to New Mexico in March when a jury found the company liable for endangering children by making them vulnerable to predators on its platforms, among other harms.
¡°We disagree with the ruling and will appeal,¡± Meta said Thursday. ¡°We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms and have been transparent about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors and harmful content,¡± the technology giant added.
