Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta has suffered a legal defeat over children's safety on its platforms⁠. Considering that Meta reported over $200 billion in annual revenue last year, it's not going to upend the tech world overnight, but it is definitionally not nothing. "We will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms," said Torrez. just some quick napkin math on this, $375 million is 0.18% of meta's reported 2025 revenue of $200.97 billion, or 0.62% of meta's reported 2025 profit of $60.46 billion. While the companies were only required to pay a shared total of $6 million, the trial is a test case "tied to about 2,000 other pending lawsuits."
