Meta Pays $567M After New Mexico Ruling | Santa Fe News

New Mexico’s Attorney General just dropped a bombshell on Meta—courts ordered the company to pay $567 million for failing to protect teens from mental health harm and exploitation, adding to a prior $375 million verdict. That’s nearly $942 million total. The judge also demanded sweeping changes: ban under-13 accounts, kill romantic chatbots with minors, and require human review of abuse reports within 48 hours. Torrez isn’t holding his breath for Meta to comply—he calls their track record “misleading, hiding, denying”—and sees this as a national precedent. Of the new payout, $420 million will fund youth mental health treatment. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
