Meta fined $567 million for child harm
A court in New Mexico imposed a fine of $567 million on Meta, in addition to a previous fine of $375 million, bringing the total penalties to $942 million. This was due to their failure to protect children from harmful content and psychological harm on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The court also recommended taking additional measures such as preventing adults from communicating with minors, reducing nighttime notifications, and limiting teenagers' usage time on the platforms. Meta rejected the ruling and confirmed its intention to appeal, continuing to work on improving child protection on its platforms.
