新墨西哥州法院周四裁定Meta需支付5.67亿美元罚款[1]，这是继3月份判罚3.75亿美元后的追加处罚[1]，两笔罚款合计达9.42亿美元[1]。法院认定Meta的平台对儿童造成成瘾和安全伤害，构成"重大公共妨害"[1]。
除罚款外，法院还下令Meta进行平台改革[1]。具体措施包括移除点赞计数显示、禁止在晚上10点至早上7点向未成年用户发送推送通知，以及将未成年用户的月度使用时限设置为90小时（约每天3小时）[1]。新墨西哥州总检察长Raul Torrez表示："今日Meta为其选择——将参与度和利润置于安全之上——付出了代价"[1]。
对于该判决，Meta发言人Andy Stone回应称公司对其网络安全记录充满信心，并表示将继续为自己进行辩护[1]。Meta已宣布将对该判决提出上诉[1]。
A New Mexico court has ordered Meta to pay $567 million in penalties, bringing the company's total fines in child safety cases to $942 million when combined with a $375 million judgment issued in March [1]. The ruling stems from allegations that Meta's platform has caused addiction and safety harm to children [1].
Beyond the financial penalty, the court has mandated platform changes designed to protect minors [1]. These modifications include removing like counts from posts, restricting push notifications to minors between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., and implementing a monthly usage cap of 90 hours—approximately three hours per day—for underage users [1]. The court characterized Meta's conduct as creating a "substantial public nuisance" [1].
New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez stated that Meta is now "paying the price for its choices" of prioritizing engagement and profits over safety [1]. Meta's spokesperson Andy Stone responded by expressing confidence in the company's safety record and announcing that the platform will appeal the decision [1].
