Meta正在澳大利亚联邦法院面临集体诉讼,该诉讼由8名申请人代表提起,指控Facebook和Instagram平台的成瘾性设计功能对儿童和青少年造成伤害1。原告方寻求对受伤害用户的赔偿1。
与此同时,Meta在美国也面临重大罚款。新墨西哥州法官判令该公司支付25亿美元(约35.2亿澳元),陪审团认定Meta误导了消费者1。这起案件源于政治咨询公司未经用户同意获取Facebook用户数据的指控1。新墨西哥州总检察长劳尔·托雷斯称这是美国历史上规模最大或最大的单州公司裁决之一1。法官弗朗西斯·马修曾认为应课以超2190亿美元的罚款,但最终减至25亿美元1。
Meta首席法律官CJ马洪尼表示将"竭力为自己辩护",并对上诉充满信心1。此前,Meta曾在8月份同意在美国支付最多17.7亿美元以解决故意诱导年轻用户的指控1。
Meta is defending itself against a class action lawsuit filed in Australia's Federal Court on behalf of eight applicants alleging that the addictive design features of Facebook and Instagram have caused harm to children and adolescents.1 The company pledged to "defend ourselves vigorously" against the proceedings, which seek compensation for injured users.1
The litigation comes as Meta confronts significant legal pressure on multiple fronts. A New Mexico state judge ordered the company to pay $2.5 billion—equivalent to approximately $3.52 billion AUD—after a jury determined Meta had misled consumers in connection with allegations that a political consulting firm gained unauthorized access to Facebook user data.1 Judge Francis Matthews indicated that penalties exceeding $219 billion were warranted but reduced the amount to $2.5 billion.1 New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torres characterized the ruling as one of the largest or most substantial single-state corporate judgments in United States history.1
Meta's chief legal officer, CJ Mahoney, expressed confidence in appealing the New Mexico decision.1 The company faced additional legal pressure in August when it agreed to pay up to $1.77 billion in the United States to resolve allegations it had deliberately targeted young users.1
