New Mexico Judge Slams Meta Over Kids | Dover News
Description
A New Mexico judge just slapped Meta with a $567 million fine, calling its platforms “factories” polluting kids’ mental health—and ordered sweeping safety rules: 90-hour monthly limits for teens, AI chatbot bans, and mandatory warnings. But implementation’s a nightmare—age verification is blocked by federal law, IP tracking’s unreliable, and addictive features like infinite scroll remain untouched. Meta’s already appealing, and this ruling only applies to New Mexico—but it could ignite nationwide change. The real battle? Making sure these protections actually work—and that they don’t leave kids vulnerable while the tech giants keep scrolling.
