Meta Ordered to Pay $567M for Youth Mental Health | San Francisco News
Description
A New Mexico court has ordered Meta to pay $567 million to address harm caused to young people’s mental health by its platforms, with $420 million funding youth treatment and the rest supporting prevention and screening programs over five years. The ruling follows a trial demanding major platform changes: addictive features must be curbed, age verification improved, and child protections strengthened. Meta now must display clear safety banners, launch educational campaigns, and work with schools to report underage users — while also developing AI tools to verify ages under 13 within two years, delete data from minors, and submit biannual compliance reports.
