A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to impose new child-safety safeguards on Facebook and Instagram, including a 90-hour monthly usage cap and restrictions on AI chatbot access for users under 18. The order followed a $375 million jury verdict against Meta in March 2026 over child-safety failures and added a further $567 million penalty. The safeguards apply only to minors in New Mexico and carry no imposed compliance deadline; Meta has said it will appeal the ruling.
