To address harms to young people from its platforms. Most of the money will fund treatment services for young people, with the rest going towards prevention, screening and awareness over the next five years. It's on top of $375 million in penalties ordered in March, after jurors found Meta had knowingly harmed children's mental health and concealed what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its platforms. Meta says it will appeal, insisting it remains confident in its record of protecting teens online. #Meta #Instagram #OnlineSafety #News #Facebook • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
