Last update: 4 hours agoMeta Youth-Safety Settlement: Meta agreed to pay up to about $17.1 billion to 47 states plus D.C., Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, and to overhaul Facebook and Instagram teen protections—ending a federal trial over claims the platforms used addictive design and harmed children’s mental health.
