Two significant court decisions this week have held major social media platforms accountable for endangering children on their services.
A Los Angeles jury on Wednesday delivered a verdict finding both Meta and YouTube responsible for causing harm to minors who use their platforms. Meanwhile, in New Mexico, jurors reached a decision Tuesday that Meta deliberately damaged children’s mental wellbeing and hid information about sexual exploitation of minors occurring on its social networks.
The verdicts represent a collection of visual documentation compiled by Associated Press photography staff.
