This ruling brings the total penalty against Meta in New Mexico to $942million, with $420 million of the new funds specifically allocated to youth treatment services. The court found that Meta knowingly harmed children’s mental health and concealed information regarding child sexual exploitation on its platforms. The judgment also mandates Meta to implement significant changes, including improving age verification tools, creating a reporting portal for schools, and deleting personal information of users under 13. Meta has stated its intention to appeal the decision, which is part of a growing number of lawsuits the tech giant faces concerning the impact of social media on young people.
