A jury found Meta and YouTube liable for mental-health harm, and Meta was ordered to pay $375 million in New Mexico for failing to protect users from child predators. The $375M award is small relative to Meta's market cap but heightens legal and regulatory risk, could prompt similar suits or state actions, and may cause near-term share volatility and reputational damage.
