In the span of just 48 hours this week, two separate juries in two different US states delivered verdicts that could reshape the entire social media industry — not because of the dollar amounts involved, but because of what those verdicts legally establish for the first time. On Tuesday, March 24, a jury in Santa Fe, New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $375 million for failing to protect children from sexual exploitation on Facebook and Instagram.

September 22, 2011 The facebook f8 developers conference will be happening in full earnest. With all the updates Facebook has been rolling out you can bet that the best has been stored for last.
