A US judge in New Mexico on Thursday ordered Meta to pay another $567m (£421m) for its failure to warn the public about dangers its platforms posed to children, marking the largest ruling against the company over child safety. The ruling is in addition to $375m in fines Meta was already ordered to pay in the case, for a total of $942m. It was the first time that a state had successfully sued Meta over child safety issues. In addition to the New Mexico rulings, Meta earlier this year lost a case in Los Angeles making similar claims. In addition to being the largest fine Meta has received over child safety issues, the ruling also appears to be the first time that a social media company has been deemed a public nuisance.
