A New Mexico trial is taking place to determine what social media conglomerate, Meta, knew about its risks to children. State prosecutors allege that Meta failed to disclose the risks its platforms pose for children, including mental health problems and sexual exploitation. If found guilty, Meta could face sanctions of up to billions of dollars. The trial, which began on February 9, is part of a larger trend of lawsuits against Meta and comes as school districts and legislators seek more restrictions on smartphone use in classrooms. The case could challenge immunity provisions protecting tech companies from liability for material posted on their social media platforms under Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act and a First Amendment shield.
