A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay $567 million and implement new restrictions on young users of its platforms, adding to a previous $375 million penalty. The ruling found Meta misled users about platform safety and contributed to youth mental health issues and exploitation. Meta must limit underage users' screen time and block notifications at night in New Mexico. The case marks a significant legal challenge for Meta amid thousands of similar lawsuits nationwide over social media harm to teens.
