Back to EpisodesMeta, YouTube Fined for Child Safety Lapses
Description
Meta faces significant setbacks in child safety lawsuits, with a New Mexico jury ordering $375 million in damages and a Los Angeles jury finding Meta and YouTube guilty of designing addictive features harmful to children.

Parents of victims express relief and sorrow, calling for industry accountability and stricter online safeguards. Both companies plan appeals, and more lawsuits are expected as advocates push for the Kids Online Safety Act.
