BREAKING: New Mexico jury finds Facebook, Instagram, & Whatsapp harm childrens’ mental health—orders Meta to pay a $375M penalty.
•$375M is .023% of Meta’s $1.6T net worth
•That’s like the median American being fined $14.37
•And in 2025 Meta paid only 3.5% tax on a record $79B US income

Horrid. Immoral. Criminal. American.

Shocked that Meta, which enabled the Rohingya genocide and faced no repercussions, is also harming the mental health of our children, and faces no repercussions. 😐 Smh.

@QasimRashid This is an example of why we need equity fines, i.e. a corporate death penalty: https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/bleed-lawless-businesses/

@QasimRashid i'm just happy to see them take an L (that they'll appeal for a decade until 375m turns into 3.75m & some community service ads / mixers for politicians). Hopefully there's 49 more states lining up to get theirs if this serves as any precedent.

LOL!! $375 million --- I'm sure they were trying not to laugh when this number was announced.

They will happily pay that and keep doing it -- they don't care and only $375 million isn't going to make them think twice
