Meta Hit with $942M Fine in New Mexico | Tech News
Description
A New Mexico judge just slapped Meta with a $567 million fine — bringing their total tab to nearly $942 million — for harming kids on its platforms. The court’s not just after cash; it’s demanding major changes: hide likes for minors unless parents approve, ban nighttime notifications, and cap screen time at 90 hours monthly. The judge called Meta’s products a public nuisance, citing mental health, education, and exploitation risks. Meta plans to fight back, but the state says they knowingly prioritized profit over safety. This follows a similar loss in LA and is part of a nationwide wave of lawsuits targeting social media’s impact on youth.
