    New Mexico said it plans to ask the judge to order Meta to make changes including verifying users’ ages; redesigning its algorithm to promote quality content for minors; and ending autoplay and infinite scrolling for minors.

    Just Meta, or all social media platforms that have these same features? The article is unclear as to whether this would become a law or just enforced against Meta.

      A judge can’t make laws. Higher courts can set precedents about how existing laws are interpreted,but that isn’t happening here. The judgment will be specific to Meta.
