A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay $567 million into an abatement fund after a jury found the company willfully violated the state's unfair practices act. The ruling ties Meta's social media platforms to contributing significantly to a mental health crisis among New Mexico's youth. Most of the fund, $420 million, will support treatment for those harmed, with the remainder allocated for prevention, awareness, and safety improvements. Meta faces ongoing legal challenges, with the New Mexico Attorney General seeking up to $62.85 billion in penalties and demanding major changes to Meta's app features to protect children better.
