Meta's $200B settlement details
Meta has reached a historic settlement with 29 U.S. states regarding accusations that it designed its platforms, Facebook and Instagram, in ways that lead to children becoming addicted, resulting in a payment of over $16 billion. The settlement includes strict measures to protect young users, such as setting a maximum usage limit of two hours per day for teenagers and prohibiting usage from midnight to 6 a.m. It also involves other changes, including disabling notifications and hiding the number of likes. This move comes after accusations of evading data protection laws and calls for fines reaching up to $200 billion. It will also entail a ten-year oversight period to ensure the implementation of these measures.
