Texas has secured more than $1 billion from Meta as part of a proposed settlement totaling $16.7 billion. The legal action addressed claims that the tech giant's platforms, Instagram and Facebook, were designed to be addictive to children.
Under the terms of the agreement, new restrictions will be introduced for US users under the age of 18. These measures include a two-hour daily time limit and restrictions on nighttime access to the social media platforms.
