New Mexico Judge Orders Child Safeguards for Meta Platforms
A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta to implement new child safety measures on its platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The ruling includes a $567 million fine and mandates a 90-hour monthly usage limit for users under 18, AI chatbot restrictions, and mandatory warnings. These measures aim to address the psychological harm associated with social media use among children. The ruling is specific to New Mexico, and Meta plans to appeal. The decision is part of a broader legal effort to hold social media companies accountable for the mental health impacts on young users.
