The first jury verdict in a series of social media child safety trials this year is in — and it’s not looking good for Meta.

New Mexico prosecutors are presenting never-before-seen video depositions of Meta executives at a trial that centers on impacts of the conglomerate's platforms on children.

For years, social media companies have disputed allegations that they harm children’s mental health through the way they design their platforms, deliberately addicting kids and failing to protect them from sexual predators and dangerous content.

Meta is on trial in New Mexico to answer allegations that its social media platforms enable predators to target children for sexual exploitation.
