With two convictions and nearly $1 billion in damages already stacked up, Meta will face another trial starting this week about alleged harms to children in a case brought by four U.S. states.

The four states in the Oakland trial accuse Meta of violating their consumer protection laws, in addition to a federal law that protects children’s data, known as COPPA. A jury in New Mexico previously ordered Meta to pay $375 million after it found the company liable for endangering children by making them vulnerable to predators on its platforms, among other harms.
