Harm to Children and Public Nuisance: Meta Ordered to Pay $567 Million to New Mexico

A New Mexico judge ruled that Meta caused harm to minors and created a public nuisance, ordering the company to pay $567 million into a teen mental health fund. The ruling mandates product changes to protect young users, including restricting addictive features and preventing sexualized interactions with AI chatbots. Meta plans to appeal the decision.
