Episode Details

Meta just agreed to a $18 billion settlement over allegations it hooked teens on its platforms with deceptive tactics — and now must overhaul its apps with strict new rules like time limits, nighttime shutdowns, and school-hour notification silencing. California’s AG Rob Bonta called the evidence damning, including internal Meta documents, and expects his state to get $1B–$2B specifically for youth mental health. Meta denies wrongdoing, arguing teens switch apps anyway and touts new “Teen Accounts” as parental safeguards. This landmark case sets a precedent: tech giants can’t ignore accountability when it comes to kids’ well-being online.
