Judge orders Meta to create $567M abatement fund for child harms in New Mexico

A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to create a $567 million abatement fund to address harms caused to children. This ruling stems from a child exploitation lawsuit and is an additional penalty. It follows a previous order from March requiring Meta to pay $375 million in the same legal case. The total financial obligation is designated for youth harm abatement, ensuring that the company compensates for the impact of its platforms on children in New Mexico.
