A New Mexico jury was set Tuesday to decide Meta’s fate in the landmark case accusing Mark Zuckerberg’s firm of failing to protect kids from sexual predators in its pursuit of big profits. Deliberations were underway after jurors heard closing arguments in the case, which featured six weeks of testimony from witnesses that included ex-Meta executives, teachers and online safety experts. New Mexico prosecutors argued that Meta hid the extent of safety issues that kids faced on Facebook and Instagram and failed to enforce its claimed minimum age limit of 13 – even as its algorithms allegedly made it easier for creeps to target kids for online harassment and even sex trafficking.
