Episode Details

Meta just paid over $17 billion to 30+ states after being accused of harming kids through its platforms, rolling out strict new limits like two-hour daily usage caps, disabling school-hour notifications, hiding likes by default, and introducing nighttime modes. Texas alone gets over $1 billion. While Attorney General Ken Paxton praised added parental controls and age verification, some parents argue these changes are mostly PR moves kids will easily bypass. Experts agree responsibility lies with both companies and families, and settlement funds will also fund mental health, after-school programs, and vital digital literacy training—aiming to empower kids and parents to navigate social media safely together.
