A New Mexico court has ordered Meta to establish a $567 million fund to address youth mental health issues and child sexual exploitation stemming from its platforms. The court determined that Meta's platforms significantly contribute to a teen mental health crisis in the state, declaring them a public nuisance. This substantial fund is in addition to $375 million in civil penalties previously awarded by a jury. The jury found Meta liable for violating New Mexico's Unfair Practices Act. The initial lawsuit was filed by New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez, who accused Meta of making misleading statements about platform safety while being aware of its role in child exploitation. While the court rejected Meta's Section 230 defense for the public nuisance claim, it exercised caution regarding specific remedies. The judge declined to mandate changes to features like infinite scroll or autoplay due to potential First Amendment and Section 230 concerns. The legal proceedings involved a bench trial focusing on whether Meta's platforms constituted a public nuisance and what remedies were appropriate. The court's decision aims to mitigate the harms caused by Meta's services within New Mexico.
