A New Mexico judge expressed concern Monday that the state's proposed safety reforms for Instagram and Facebook might be excessive. The attorney general seeks up to $3.7 billion in penalties and major changes after a jury found Meta failed to protect children from sexual predators.

The case will determine if Meta's failures constitute a public nuisance and which safety measures are appropriate.
