Hey, Meta, leave our kids alone

 

The claim that Meta “didn’t know” people were being hurt is laughable

 

At Meta HQ in Menlo Park, screens pulse with real-time engagement metrics, the dopamine hits for billions, quantified to the millisecond. Down the hall, engineers tweak their algorithms.

 

A thousand miles away a teenage girl swipes on her phone. Meta knows her moods better than her parents ever could.

 

Now imagine the same company’s executives, under oath, shrugging, saying that they simply had no idea their platforms had become a breeding ground for predators. A New Mexico jury just called that bluff.

 

On March 24, 2026, Meta was found liable for willfully violating the state’s unfair practices act and ordered to pay $375 million—the maximum per-violation penalty under state law, though far below the $2.1 billion the attorney general had sought.
