(FILES) This illustration photograph shows the logo of the US multinational technology company Meta displayed on a smartphone in Mulhouse, eastern France, on February 11, 2026. A judge of the US state of New Mexico on August 5, 2026, ordered Meta to pay more than half a billion dollars over five years, ruling in favor of the state's claims that the social media giant created a "public nuisance" and harmed children. Meta was previously ordered to pay $375 million in damages to New Mexico in March 2026 when a jury found the company liable for endangering children by making them vulnerable to predators on its platforms, among other harms.
