Moroccan authorities link Facebook migration to false claims
A judge in the state of New Mexico in the United States ruled that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, must pay $567 million over five years to compensate for damages caused by its platforms to minors. The ruling includes strict measures such as limiting social media use to a maximum of 90 hours per month for teenagers under 18, turning off notifications during nighttime, hiding the number of likes, preventing romantic or sexual interactions between minors and AI chatbots, and reviewing the accounts of potential underage users who have not verified their age within 30 days. Of this amount, $420 million is designated to support adolescent mental health and early detection and prevention programs, while the remaining funds will be allocated to other initiatives. The ruling comes in response to accusations that Meta failed to adequately protect minors and aims to reduce the impact of social media on young people and minimize the risks of sexual exploitation.
