Meta must pay $4.2 million in combined compensatory and punitive damages, and YouTube must pay $1.8 million.

Wow… Landmark indeed…

Wednesday’s verdict follows a ruling this week by a New Mexico jury in another case brought by the state attorney general there, which found Meta liable for violating state law by failing to safeguard users of its apps from child predators. That jury decided on Tuesday that Meta should pay $375 million in that case.

Ok, better but I bet they will appeal the decision and the fine will drop by an order of magnitude.
