WHAT HAPPENED
A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, to pay $567 million for creating a public nuisance and harming children online. The ruling, announced this week, marks one of the largest civil penalties against a social‑media firm for child‑safety violations in the United States.
According to Latest News From Euronews, the court found that Meta’s platforms contributed to mental‑health harms among minors and failed to protect them adequately. Meta confirmed it will appeal the decision, stating it ‘works hard to protect young users across its platforms.’ The judgment was described in France 24 as a ‘child safety ruling’ and by The Guardian as a verdict over harms to children’s mental health.
The order reflects growing legal scrutiny over social‑media companies’ responsibilities to safeguard minors, following a series of lawsuits and regulatory investigations nationwide.
