A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta to pay an additional 567 million dollars, bringing its total fines for child safety failures to 942 million dollars. The judge labeled the company a public nuisance, comparing its harmful impact to pollution. The ruling mandates that Meta fund behavioral health programs and implement strict usage limits for minors, such as banning push notifications during school hours. Meta has announced its intention to appeal the decision while continuing to defend itself against thousands of other lawsuits across the United States regarding child privacy and safety.
