Meta has reached a landmark settlement with attorneys general across the United States, agreeing to pay more than $18 billion to states. The deal also includes several changes aimed at better protecting children and teenagers on Meta’s Facebook and Instagram platforms. The settlement proposal, which is pending judicial approval, will bring an end to the high-profile trial concerning the company’s handling of young users on its social media services.
The agreement marks a significant development in ongoing legal scrutiny of social media’s impact on youth, reflecting increased regulatory focus on tech companies’ responsibilities.
