Meta fined half a billion over child safety
A judge in New Mexico has ordered Meta to pay $567 million to a fund dedicated to adolescent mental health, following the company's conviction for exposing children to risks and neglecting their safety on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The ruling also called for the implementation of strict measures, including setting time limits on children's usage, protective procedures against sexual exploitation, and improved content review and abuse reporting mechanisms. The company plans to appeal the verdict and reaffirm its commitment to safeguarding teenagers, after previously paying $375 million in March for violating consumer protection laws.
