tl;dr: A New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay $567m into a fund for youth mental health services, on top of a $375m jury fine from March, bringing total liability to $942m. The court also mandated product changes including improved age-assurance tools, a required "under-13 prediction model" within two years, and deletion of data collected from under-13 users, though it declined to impose stricter age verification than competitors face. Meta plans to appeal. | |
