Meta to face new teen protection rules
Meta has reached a settlement worth $16.7 billion with 48 U.S. states, aimed at imposing new restrictions on teenagers' use of Facebook and Instagram. The settlement includes changes to the platforms' design, such as setting daily usage limits, establishing late-night banning periods, and strengthening age verification measures for minors, all to reduce addictive use and prevent children from accessing inappropriate content. It also involves processes for parents and guardians to monitor children's activity on the platforms. The measures will take effect after court approval and represent a significant step in addressing the excessive use of social media by young people.
