> A US state court has ordered Meta to pay $567 million and curb some Facebook and Instagram features aimed at children. The court ruled that the company created a “public nuisance” that put young users at risk. The decision is being described as the largest child-safety ruling against Meta. Dozens of other US states are also suing the company over alleged harm to children and their mental health.
