Meta challenges New Mexico's $3.7 billion plan for teen mental health in social media trial

Meta is contesting New Mexico's $3.7 billion proposal tied to alleged teen mental health harms, arguing the remedy is overly broad and would force it to fund mental health care for all teenagers in the state. The dispute centers on potential liability scope rather than operating performance, making the news modestly negative but likely limited in immediate market impact. The case highlights ongoing legal exposure and regulatory scrutiny for Meta.
