A New Mexico state court ordered Meta to pay $567 million and implement a range of new safety measures for young users of Facebook and Instagram, the second phase of a landmark case that found the company's platforms contributed to a youth mental health crisis in the state. Thursday's ruling, reached through a three-week bench trial without a jury, addressed New Mexico's request that the court order structural changes to how Meta's platforms operate for young users. The court declined to grant some of the more sweeping changes New Mexico prosecutors had sought. The court also found that requiring Meta alone, and not other social media companies, to implement age-verification tools would be "inequitable and unduly injurious" to the company. Attention going forward is likely to center on whether Meta appeals Thursday's ruling alongside the March jury verdict, and on how the company implements the ordered notification and privacy-default changes for New Mexico users.
