New Mexico seeking changes to Meta's platform after jury finds company liable

A jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million for violating New Mexico law in a child exploitation case. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said the state will seek additional financial relief and changes to the platform, indicating potential further legal and regulatory exposure. The $375m award is unlikely to be material to Meta's balance sheet but raises reputational and compliance risks that could draw further enforcement or operational constraints.
