NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The lawsuit, brought by the New Mexico state attorney-general in 2023, is part of a broader effort by US authorities to hold tech companies accountable for the potential harm their platforms can cause to children. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has faced increasing scrutiny over its handling of online safety and wellbeing, particularly with regards to young users. The significant penalty imposed by the New Mexico court may set a precedent for similar lawsuits against tech companies in the future.
