Meta’s $17B settlement locks in teen-safety safeguards
TL;DR Summary
Meta will pay about $17 billion to settle claims that its platforms harmed young users, funding youth-safety initiatives and enforcing a decade-long package of safeguards on Facebook and Instagram for under-18s, including a two-hour daily limit, night mode, autoplay restrictions, removal of like counts, and a non-algorithmic feed option, plus stronger age verification and an independent auditor; most measures roll out within six months (some features may take up to a year).
