Meta ordered to pay $567 million over minor harm
A court in New Mexico has ordered Meta to pay $567 million to enhance mental health treatment measures resulting from the use of its platforms Facebook and Instagram by children and teenagers. The judge confirmed that the company's platforms constitute a "public nuisance" and contribute to worsening the mental health crisis among minors, stating that the advertisements and content on these platforms cause psychological harm and sexual exploitation of children. The ruling extends to include families, schools, and law enforcement agencies. The funds will be allocated for psychological treatment of children, awareness and prevention programs, with periodic updates required from the company to ensure compliance. Meta intends to appeal the ruling. This decision comes amid a rise in U.S. legal cases accusing social media companies of negatively impacting the mental health of minors.
