A New Mexico court has ordered Instagram and Facebook parent company Meta to pay US$567 million to address harms to young people from its platforms in the second phase of a landmark trial.
Judge Bryan Biedscheid said in a ruling late Thursday that the bulk of the money ā US$420 million ā will be used for treatment services for young people.
The rest will go toward awareness and prevention, screening services and other costs over the next five years.
