Judge Slams Meta Over Kids' Mental Health | Durham News
Description
A New Mexico judge just slapped Meta with a $567 million fine, calling its social media platforms “factories” polluting kids’ mental health—and ordered sweeping safety rules: time limits for teens, AI chatbot bans, and mandatory warnings. While Meta vows to appeal and the ruling only applies to one state, it’s seen as a landmark legal precedent, showing courts are willing to hold tech giants accountable. Critics note key addictive features like infinite scroll remain untouched, but the ruling could ignite broader action—potentially pushing Congress toward federal child online protection laws.
