US Court Fines Meta $567M Over Children
A court in New Mexico issued a legal ruling against Meta, imposing a fine of $567 million for its failure to protect children's safety on its platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. This amount is added to a previous fine of $375 million, bringing the total to $942 million, after the company was charged with causing psychological harm and sexual exploitation of children. Judge Bryan Biedschad praised the company's role in causing psychological damage comparable to air pollution and called for allocating the fines to prevent future harm. Meanwhile, Meta announced its intention to appeal the verdict, emphasizing its efforts to protect users and ensure transparency in the face of these accusations. This marks the first time an American state has successfully sued Meta over children's safety, and the company now faces several similar lawsuits across the United States.
