On Wednesday, August 26th, 2026, New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport appeared on Meet the Press NOW to discuss a significant settlement reached with Meta Platforms. The settlement follows a multi-state lawsuit alleging that Facebook and Instagram endangered young users through addictive features.

Attorney General Davenport described the settlement as marking an "era of holding big tech accountable." NBC News Business and Economy Reporter Allie Canal noted that this lawsuit could have broader implications for other social media companies.

The case reflects growing concerns about social media's impact on youth and the responsibilities of major technology firms. The settlement is seen as a pivotal moment in regulatory efforts to address these issues.

Additional political coverage includes previews of key races such as the South Carolina runoff between Darline Graham and Ralph Norman, and discussions on voter concerns about data centers ahead of the midterm elections.
