Summary
In the second phase, prosecutors had asked the judge to impose fundamental changes at Meta aimed at reining in addictive features, improving age verification and preventing child sexual exploitation through default privacy settings and closer oversight. The rest will go toward awareness and prevention, screening services and other costs over the next five years. The amount comes on top of a previously imposed compensation of 375 million dollars.
Furthermore, Judge Biedscheid heard three weeks of testimony during the second trial over the lawsuit, which did not involve a jury. Mr Torrez had accused the social media company of designing its products to addict young users and failing to protect children from sexual exploitation on its platforms. The company must also partner with schools or a child safety organization to create a reporting portal where school staff can flag users who may be under 13.
