In another major blow to Meta, a New Mexico judge ordered the social media giant pay $567 million and take actions to make its platform safer for young people. The lawsuit accused the California social media company of failing to remove child sexual abuse material and prioritizing engagement and ad revenue over safety. The ruling adds to the growing scrutiny Meta and other platforms are facing over how social media affects the mental health and safety of young people. Another youth safety case involving Meta is also headed to trial this month in California.
