Meta has reached a proposed $17.1 billion multistate settlement in the United States aimed at implementing fundamental safety changes to its Instagram and Facebook platforms. The agreement, which remains subject to court approval, mandates restrictions on the amount of time minors can spend on these social media services and introduces new safety measures for children and teens.
The settlement involves multiple states, with Ohio reportedly set to receive over $319 million. Proponents, including California’s Attorney General, have characterized the agreement as a significant step toward reducing the dangers of social media usage for children and improving outcomes for families.
