Court orders Instagram and Facebook's Meta to pay $567M to address kids' mental health online

A New Mexico court ordered Meta (Instagram/Facebook) to pay $567 million in the second phase of a landmark trial over alleged harms to young people from its platforms. The ruling adds substantial legal and potential compliance/liability risk for Meta and may weigh on investor sentiment toward social media regulation. This is likely to move the stock in the mid-single-digit range as markets reassess legal exposure.
