EFF: Weakening Speech Protections Will Punish All of Us—Not Just Meta
April 2, 2026
Incident Summary
Separate juries in California and New Mexico found Meta liable in two different cases.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that regulatory responses to these cases could weaken broader speech protections beyond Meta. Limited public details are available in the provided text about the specific claims, remedies, or next procedural steps.
