Meta Ordered to Pay $942M to Address Harm to Kids from Social Media
A federal judge ruled that Meta must pay $942 million to address the harm its platforms cause to children, marking one of the largest penalties in a social media case. The decision follows years of lawsuits and investigations into how Instagram and Facebook contribute to teen mental health issues. Meta says it plans to appeal, arguing the company has already invested heavily in child safety features.
This is a landmark ruling that sends a clear message: tech giants cannot profit from the well-being of our children.
