A New Mexico court has ordered tech giant Meta to pay a staggering $942 million in fines. The judge mandated the removal of Like counts and restricted push notifications for underaged users between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., with their overall usage capped at 90 hours per month.

The ruling comes amid growing concerns over social media’s impact on mental health, particularly among young people in New Mexico, where the judge cited risks of sexual exploitation and interference with education. Meta has vowed to appeal the decision, insisting it is committed to safeguarding its users online.

State Attorney General Raúl Torrez emphasized that this judgment holds Meta accountable for the harm caused to children, families, and schools in New Mexico, forcing the company to make substantial changes in how it operates within the state. The case follows another loss for Meta in Los Angeles earlier this year, where the court ruled against the company for promoting addictive patterns.

Meta faces several other lawsuits across the country, including a joint lawsuit by 33 states consolidated in an Oakland federal court and individual cases from states like Tennessee. This latest fine underscores the mounting pressure on tech giants to address the social harms associated with their platforms.
