Meta Pays Billions for Kid Safety
Meta will pay states billions and add new safety tools for young users on Facebook and Instagram.
Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, faced a big lawsuit. Many states said these apps hurt children. Now, Meta will pay a lot of money to make things right. It will also change its apps to keep kids safer.
Meta agreed to pay up to $17.1 billion to 29 states. This money will help fix problems the apps caused. On top of that, new safety rules are coming. Kids will have daily time limits on the apps. A "night mode" will turn off notifications when it's bedtime. Parents will get more ways to control what their children see and do.
These changes are a big win for families. They show that companies must protect young people online. This settlement means a safer internet for the next generation.
