新墨西哥州圣菲地区法院周四作出裁决,判令Meta支付5.67亿美元罚款[1]。这是该州针对Meta的标志性儿童安全案第二阶段的判决,使Meta在该案中的累计罚款金额接近10亿美元[1]。
法院认定Meta的平台构成"公共妨害",是导致新墨西哥州青少年心理健康危机的"重要贡献原因"[1]。新墨西哥州司法部长表示:"这个案件始终关乎保护儿童、为家庭发声,以及确保全球最大的科技公司之一不能通过危害年轻人的行为而从中获利而不承担后果。"[1]
A Santa Fe district court in New Mexico has ordered Meta to pay an additional $567 million in a landmark child safety case, bringing the company's total financial penalty in the state to nearly $1 billion [1]. The judgment represents the second phase of the proceeding, in which the court determined that Meta's platform constitutes a "public nuisance" and has been a "significant contributing factor" to a youth mental health crisis in New Mexico [1].
New Mexico's Attorney General responded to the ruling by emphasizing the case's core mission, stating: "This case has always been about protecting children, standing up for families, and making sure that one of the world's largest technology companies cannot profit from practices that endanger young people without consequence" [1].
