A US court has fined Meta $567 million over child safety concerns on its platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The court cited "public nuisance" as the reason for the fine.
The fine was ordered by a US judge in New Mexico, who also ordered feature limits on the platforms. According to The Island Sri Lanka, this is not the first fine Meta has been ordered to pay in this case, with a previous fine of $375 million, making the total $942 million.
Meta plans to appeal the ruling, stating that it works hard to keep people safe on its platforms and has been transparent about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors and harmful content.
