A New Mexico judge just ordered Meta to pay $567 million for harming children, on top of the $375 million a jury already hit them with in March. That's nearly a billion dollars. One state. And Meta's official response? They work hard to keep people safe. Right. Trusting Meta with your kids' safety is like hiring a babysitter who ask your kids, would you like Frosted Flakes for breakfast or a giant bag of M&M's? And when your kid picks the giant bag of M&M's, the babysitter says, great choice. Now how about we dive into a tub of Nutella and guzzle some Red Bull? And then this babysitter charges you by the hour. The judge found Meta's platforms are helping drive a youth mental health crisis. Meta's plan? Appeal the ruling, deny everything, and keep pinging your 10-year-old's phone at 2 in the morning. Ultimize.
