Meta ordered to pay $375M in New Mexico trial over child exploitation

So... end to end message encryption means meta can't see messages child molesters are sending to children.

This is one of the first times the court found the platform itself can be liable, overruling frequent industry claims that they just host content and are never responsible for the content. $375 million sounds big but is peanuts compared to their annual revenue. And of course Meta will appeal and then try to drag everything out for years and years. Expect copycat lawsuits. These platforms expose minors to predators and bad actors, and Meta was proven lying about safety.
