Part of situation: Meta settles federal youth mental health litigation (18 clusters)

Meta ordered to pay $567M over teen mental health harm

Meta child safety mental health New Mexico court social media regulation

A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta to pay $567 million in penalties for failing to protect children on its Facebook and Instagram platforms. This ruling, issued by Judge Bryan Biedscheid, brings Meta's total penalties in this legal matter to $942 million, following a previous $375 million fine in March.

Judge Biedscheid classified Meta as a "public nuisance," comparing the company’s impact on youth mental health to the noxious emissions of a polluting factory. The court determined that Meta's recommendation algorithms prioritized user engagement at the expense of child safety, contributing to psychological harm and exposure to exploitation.

Of the $567 million penalty, approximately $420 million is designated to fund youth mental health treatment and behavioral health programs. The remainder will support awareness, prevention, and screening services over the next five years.

In addition to the financial penalties, the court mandated several operational changes for users in New Mexico. These include a 90-hour monthly usage cap for users under 18, restrictions on AI chatbot interactions, and the implementation of mandatory safety warning banners and informational screens on the platforms.
