Meta Says It May Withdraw Its Apps From New Mexico If Judge Agrees To The State's Demands

Meta warned it could withdraw its apps from New Mexico if a judge orders the child-safety remedies the state is seeking.

New Mexico previously won a $375 million liability verdict, and the next phase will decide whether Meta created a public nuisance.

The court could require Meta to fund safety programs and change product features, including age checks and protections against encrypted abuse.

The case may set a precedent on whether states can force platform and safety changes after a finding of liability for child-safety harms.
