Meta has reached a $17.1 billion settlement with 47 states to resolve a lawsuit regarding child safety. As part of this agreement, Facebook and Instagram must implement sweeping new safeguards and child safety standards. These changes will alter how teens interact with the social media platforms and include restrictions on their usage during specific times. The settlement also specifies financial distributions for states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, to address these critical safety concerns for younger users.
