Published 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, March 26.
What a week its been in our city, folks, with a courtroom drama thats shaking up the national conversation on big tech and our kids safety. Just two days ago, on March 24, a Santa Fe jury delivered a historic verdict against Meta, holding the company directly accountable for the harm its social media platforms inflict on children. In a first for any state, jurors found Meta violated New Mexicos consumer protection laws by misleading families about platform safety, using addictive features like infinite scroll and autoplay videos that hook young users and fuel anxiety, depression, and worse. The result? A whopping 375 million dollar penalty for 75,000 violations, proving families here have real recourse when tech giants prioritize profits over protection. This isnt abstractits about our neighborhoods, where parents are now documenting screenshots of harmful content, mental health struggles, and behavioral shifts tied to apps. A follow-up trial in May could force even more changes, like better age checks and predator removals, giving Santa Fe families tools to fight back and reclaim screen time for real life.
Shifting gears to brighter spots, todays packed with ways to dive into our vibrant arts scene. Head to the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture for daily admissions, where you can immerse in stunning exhibits that celebrate Native creativityright here in the heart of Santa Fe. Over at St. Johns College Santa Fe Campus, the Student Activities Center hosts a Spring Break Trip starting today, perfect for adventure seekers looking to explore beyond the books. If sports your vibe, join Pick-Up Volleyball at 5:30 pm in the SAC gym, or catch the ongoing Ken Friedman 92 Events exhibit at the Mitchell Art Museum, blending art and history in ways that spark fresh perspectives on everyday life.
