  • Thank you.

  • A landmark decision in California, where a jury finds Meta and YouTube negligent and says the way

  • their apps are designed hurts kids.

  • Plus, after more than a decade of rampant violence and crime, Venezuela is starting to feel safer.

  • We get into why.

  • Around 10, 15 years ago, streets were so barren at night, people couldn't go out.

  • You'd call a taxi just to go a few blocks.

  • People were very, very scared of being robbed, mugged, kidnapped.

  • It's really one of the most remarkable changes.

  • And security lines at airports are growing.

  • One company is a clear winner.

  • It's Wednesday, March 25th.

  • I'm Alex Oseleff for The Wall Street Journal.

  • This is the PM edition of What's News, the top headlines and business stories that move the world today.

  • In Los Angeles, a jury ruled today that Meta,

  • which owns Instagram, and Google's YouTube were negligent for operating products that harm kids and teens

  • and failing to warn about those dangers.

  • The jury ordered the companies to pay $6 million in damages.

  • The decision comes just a day after another verdict in New Mexico that found Meta liable

  • for failing to protect young people from online dangers.
