New Mexico court mandates Meta $567M, improves teen protections

A New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay $567 million and implement extensive youth safety measures after ruling the company contributed to the state's youth mental health crisis and failed to protect minors on Facebook and Instagram. The judgment follows a previous $375 million penalty, bringing Meta’s total liability to nearly $942 million. The court found Meta created a public nuisance and required changes such as usage limits, notification restrictions, tighter controls on adult contact with minors, and safeguards for AI chatbots over the next five years. Meta disagreed with the ruling and plans to appeal.
