Meta Pays $17B to Fix Teen Addiction | Newark News

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

Meta just agreed to a $17 billion settlement with 47 states over claims its platforms are addictive and violate kids’ privacy — ending a trial and launching new teen safety features like daily time limits, nighttime feed bans, and muted notifications during school hours. While Meta calls it a win for teens and urges rivals to follow suit, insiders question if these tweaks truly fix the core design problem. If approved, funds will fund youth mental health and public education — marking a pivotal moment in the debate over social media’s toll on young minds.
