  1. Whoa y’all! Speaking of all things spawned from #Zuckerberg, a #NM judge just said #Facebook was a “public nuisance”, which while funny, I’m given to understand is a very big deal in legal precedent.

    Judge Bryan Biedscheid concluded that #Meta had caused and substantially contributed to a “public nuisance” in New Mexico. He ordered the social media giant to pay $567 million into a fund meant to remedy harms caused by Facebook and #Instagram. That comes on top of $375 million in civil penalties a jury previously imposed in the same case, bringing Meta’s total legal bill to $942 million.

    The company is facing thousands of lawsuits across the country from state governments, school districts, families, and individuals.

    #CA, #CO, #KY, and #NJ are seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties for allegations that Facebook and Instagram were designed to addict users.

    For anyone keeping score, that figure is just under Meta’s market capitalization of roughly $1.5 trillion.
