Meta Settles Child-Safety Lawsuit with $17.1 Billion Payment Over Decade
Meta has finalized a $17 billion settlement for child-safety concerns, involving 29 state Attorneys General. The agreement mandates stricter safety measures for teens on Facebook and Instagram, including a two-hour daily time limit, restricted access during school hours, and default settings for safety features. While parents generally support the measures, concerns remain about their effectiveness. Meta is also conditioning further financial contributions on YouTube and TikTok implementing similar child safety programs, with the last portion of the settlement earmarked for states that comply. Experts stress the need for broader industry-wide solutions beyond surface-level fixes to address social media's impact on minors.
