New Mexico Court Orders Meta to Pay $567 Million Over Child Harm Case
A New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay $567 million in the second phase of a landmark trial addressing harm to children from its platforms. Most funds will support treatment services, with the remainder for prevention and screening over five years. The court found Meta created a public nuisance by harming children's mental health and failing to prevent exploitation. While prosecutors sought platform changes, the judge limited orders due to federal privacy laws and concerns about fairness. Meta plans to appeal the ruling.
