New Mexico judge orders Meta to pay $567 million over child-safety concerns

A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay $567 million for failing to warn about dangers on its platforms to children, bringing the total to $942 million after a prior $375 million verdict; the ruling labels Meta a public nuisance because its algorithms and platform dynamics exposed minors to harmful content and sexual predators, with the funds to be placed in a fund to reduce future harms; Meta has signaled it will appeal the earlier ruling.
