Meta's Algorithm Needs Revamps, Judge Hears In $3.7B Trial
Summary
Meta faces a $3.7 billion bench trial brought by the New Mexico attorney general over teen mental health. A computer science expert testified that courts should require Meta to revise its recommendation algorithm for minor users to prioritize safety as much as engagement. The testimony focuses on the platform’s content-ranking formulas and their effects on young users’ wellbeing. The trial continues as regulators and plaintiffs press for algorithmic changes and potential remedies tied to youth safety.
