A New Mexico court has ordered Instagram and Facebook parent company Meta to pay $567 million to address harms to young people from its platforms in the second phase of a landmark trial the social media giant lost in March. In the first phase, jurors had ordered $375 million in civil penalties against Meta, determining that it knowingly harmed children’s mental health and concealed what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its platforms.

The court also noted that ordering Meta to verify children’s ages for only Meta and not other social media companies would be “inequitable and unduly injurious” to the company. The Associated Press has reached out to New Mexico’s Department of Justice and Meta for comment on the decision.
