New Mexico Becomes the First State to Win at Trial Against Big Tech Company for Misleading Consumers and Endangering Children

Santa Fe, NM – In a historic victory for the New Mexico Department of Justice, today the jury in the landmark State of New Mexico v. Meta Platforms, Inc. trial found Meta liable for misleading consumers about the safety of its platforms and endangering children. With this verdict, New Mexico becomes the first state in the nation to prevail at trial against a major tech company for harming young people. The jury ordered Meta to pay the maximum penalty under the law of $5,000 per violation, totaling $375 million in civil penalties for violating New Mexico’s consumer protection laws. The jury found Meta liable for both claims brought by the State of New Mexico under the Unfair Practices Act.

“The jury’s verdict is a historic victory for every child and family who has paid the price for Meta’s choice to put profits over kids’ safety,” said New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez. “Meta executives knew their products harmed children, disregarded warnings from their own employees, and lied to the public about what they knew. Today the jury joined families, educators, and child safety experts in saying enough is enough.

“New Mexico is proud to be the first state to hold Meta accountable in court for misleading parents, enabling child exploitation, and harming kids. In the next phase of this legal proceeding, we will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that offer stronger protections for children.

“The substantial damages the jury ordered Meta to pay should send a clear message to big tech executives that no company is beyond the reach of the law. Policymakers and law enforcement officials across the country can help make this verdict a turning point in the fight for children’s safety. This is a watershed moment for every parent concerned about what could happen to their kids when they go online – and this victory belongs to them.”

This verdict follows more than two years of litigation by the New Mexico Department of Justice to hold Meta accountable for its dishonesty and design choices that harm children. In 2023, the NMDOJ initiated an investigation of Meta’s platforms to protect children from sexual abuse, online solicitation, and other harms. The internal Meta documents and testimony obtained by the NMDOJ in the litigation reveals repeated warnings from Meta employees and outside child safety experts about dangers present on Meta’s platforms.

The evidence presented at trial – which included internal Meta documents and testimony from former Meta employees, law enforcement officials, and New Mexico educators – established that Meta’s design features enabled pedophiles and predators to engage in child sexual exploitation on Meta’s platforms. Evidence from those witnesses and other industry experts also demonstrated that Meta intentionally designs its platforms to addict young people and, contrary to Meta’s public commitments, expose them to dangerous content related to eating disorders and self harm.

The NMDOJ’s final claim against Meta will be heard via a bench trial that is scheduled to begin on May 4th. During the bench trial, the NMDOJ will argue its public nuisance case and seek injunctive relief that requires Meta to pay additional damages and make specific changes to its platforms and company operations, including enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors.

I'm going to put this out there as #documentation of what happened earlier, in case something strange happens

I am in sound mind and I have no intent or plan to end my life or harm myself. I am not experiencing suicidal thoughts, and I have made forward-looking commitments and plans. This statement is made voluntarily and contemporaneously to document my present intent and condition as of 28 January 2026 at 2 PM Pacific time.

If I am reported deceased or harmed for any reason, I request that investigators and counsel obtain and review all available records of aircraft over this neighborhood, all communications logs of the pilots, all financial data of the HILLSBORO AERO ACADEMY, and that my counsel and emergency contacts be notified immediately.

Ever hear of the 3.5 percent rule?

I learned it from Rachel Maddow. If anyone would know the history behind the #DataScience it would be her.

The Fentanyl + urine exchange that Alex Karp and Nick Zamiska had on stage last year wasn't reported on as widely as it should have been.

"Well, I love the idea of getting a drone
and having light #fentanyl laced urine spraying on [financial] analysts who tried to screw us."

Alex Karp tweaks like a meth tweaker, and after seeing this vid, you will probably agree that just maybe the #Venezuela thing isn't about oil after all but instead about his personal addiction to cocaine.

Alex Karp is the CEO of Palantir, a company of fragile and emasculated tech bros who can barely read or write that has over only the last year exploded to a market cap larger than #Netflix, #Chevron, Procter and Gamble, Micron, and Intel -- companies with hundreds of billions of dollars more in actual revenue, assets, PP&E, business plans.... Palantir's irrational and false market cap is one of the biggest mysteries in #DataScience. Palantir is currently under the infamous Cramer Curse, so don't worry too much about the mystery lasting much longer.

So Karp -- whose future "behind bars" of that cushy Federal Prison System is all but guaranteed for that illegal [bid rigging] -- rigged bids on the shrunken US government sinkhole burdened with 39 trillion dollars in debt, so don't worry about this company lasting.

Naw, this isn't only about racial profiling, the ugly whiteness behind ImmigrationOS, or Karp's sick and twisted mind that wants to spray fentanyl and urine on people who are better at math than he'll ever be.

It's time society disregard the fragile feelings of those emasculated pimple-faced teens walking around Palantir's Palo Alto campus. According to #GNCA -- Gamer Nexus Consumer #Advocacy, whose main YouTube guy is probably making a huge mistake in agreeing to go to Palantir's office to "interview" these batshit crazies -- Palantir will fail at its attempt to become a "lifestyle brand". Not to mention the copyright infrigement JRR Tolkien's estate can and should sue for.

What it all boils down to is this: Israel is two (and only two) companies that have the most overpaid CEOs in America: Meta and Palantir. Those fragile, friendless, rejected by women everywhere losers are most invested in concentration camps and bloodbath both in Palestine and the US.

It's not the government, folks. The government framework stolen from #Iroquois #Confederacy explicitly punishes fascistic behavior. The vets need not fret once they realize this (and more are waking up every day)

Destroying two and only two corporations will minimize civilian casualties and ensure America's diverse citizenry (which I do love) will thrive.

Once we get rid of Meta Platforms, Inc. and Palantir, whose CEOs are paralyzed by the need to appear "winning" when they are actual LOSERS?

LEARN THE FACTS AND STOP TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE PROBLEM.

So what is the solution? The Iroquiois Confederacy will need back its all-women Supreme Court, as well, for optimal solution.

I mean, if someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow their orders, and they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep following their orders!

I would like to share with the Internet today, this #programmatic wonder my cat wrote today, as he parked himself between me and my computer, right on keyboard.

What is he trying to say? Perhaps this is how cats purr in #binary?

Don't paywall your humanity.

My hope is that every #tech #bro will read my column about our industry, and start annoying your CEO, demanding you hire more people like me: Native and Woman.

Editing is even more important in this age of #AI-produced content, so do reach out to me with some paid offers, or if you send a legit serious range of salary offer for full-time directly, I'll give you my most recent resume to impress your team that you're not a hate-filled racist misogynist.

Every team I've worked with has appreciated my contribution. Make me an #offer I cannot refuse.
