A New Mexico judge ruled against Meta, calling its Facebook and Instagram platforms harmful to children’s mental health and ordering new safeguards. The order limits users under 18 to 90 hours per month, restricts AI chatbot access, and requires mandatory warnings. Federal privacy law bars age-verification methods for kids under 13 and limits personal-data requests or passive tracking. Effectiveness and implementation are unresolved, and the judge noted similar addiction features are used industry-wide.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
