Facebook has been found liable in New Mexico over deceptive actions, while separately TikTok has settled a $100m lawsuit with Alabama over user safety claims, according to Al Jazeera.
The report described the two developments as distinct legal actions against the platforms, though it did not detail the specific findings against Facebook or the exact terms and admissions, if any, included in TikTok's settlement.
Two platforms, two outcomes
Al Jazeera's report did not specify what remedies or penalties follow the Facebook liability finding, nor did it outline how the $100m TikTok settlement funds will be used or over what timeframe they will be paid.
The report did not include statements from Meta or TikTok in response to the rulings. Further details on the underlying allegations that led to each case were not included in the available report.
