On Thursday, the First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe, New Mexico issued a decision in the remedies phase of State of New Mexico v. Meta Platforms Inc. The court found Meta's platforms created a public nuisance by contributing to the youth mental health crisis and by facilitating child sexual exploitation. It ordered a range of remedies, including the creation of a $567 million abatement fund to finance various measures intended to address the harms to the public.

I’m sure every cent will be spent on lobbying for ID checks to get online or use a computer in the name of child safety.

That's an oddly specific amount

Fines and payments coming through courtrooms are often oddly specific with absolutely wild variations in how that was calculated. I'm sure the actual number is calculated to an odd cent value as well.
