Why Meta’s $18B Deal Is a Joke Compared to New Mexico

Meta just paid 51 attorneys general (47 states + 3 territories/D.C.) up to $18 billion over 10 years to settle youth mental health claims — less than 30 days of revenue, with no admission of liability. We compare and contrast why 51 politicians gave Meta a super sweet deal that lets it off the hook, and why a single New Mexico jury was much smarter — using a product-design theory to bypass Section 230, cage Meta's product decisions, and force real constraints.
