US court orders Meta to pay 567M to Orphans' Fund
A court in New Mexico has ordered Meta to pay $567 million to the Youth Mental Health Support Fund after concluding that the company was responsible for harming children's well-being on its platforms. The ruling included requirements to impose restrictions on the use of Facebook and Instagram, as well as safeguards to protect young users. This decision comes amid allegations that the products were designed to foster addiction among children and failed to protect them from exploitation. Meta announced that it plans to appeal the verdict and is working to identify and remove harmful content from its platforms, amidst a wave of lawsuits against social media companies concerning their impact on teenagers' mental health.
