Meta to pay $17 billion to settle US states' child addiction lawsuits

Meta has reached a preliminary $17 billion settlement with nearly all US states over allegations it deliberately addicted minors to Facebook and Instagram. The deal, announced by California's attorney general, requires Meta to implement sweeping changes to restrict children's access to both platforms. States accused the company of knowingly hooking young users while deceiving them about potential harms.
