Judge Orders Meta to Pay $567 Million for Harming Children

A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta to pay $567 million, ruling that the social media giant created a public nuisance and harmed children. The ruling on Thursday adds to a $375 million jury verdict from March, bringing Meta's total penalties in the case to $942 million. The judge found that Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, exposed children to online predators and harmed their mental health. Meta was ordered to overhaul safety features on its platforms and to pay the fine, which will fund state programs. The judge also imposed restrictions on how the company operates regarding children. Meta has said it will appeal.
