section-230

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled April 10 that Section 230 does not bar Attorney General Andrea Campbell's lawsuit against Meta over Instagram's addictive design, the first such ruling by any state's highest court.

Juries in Los Angeles and New Mexico found Meta and Google liable for addictive platform design and child safety failures, awarding $381 million and setting a legal precedent for thousands of pending cases.

A New Mexico jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million for enabling child exploitation, and a California bellwether jury found both Meta and YouTube negligent in designing addictive platforms that harmed a minor.
