Meta Settlement Adds Limits on Instagram for Teens

Meta settled litigation brought by states by agreeing to impose two-hour daily time limits and overnight blocks on Instagram and other platforms for users under 18. The deal is valued at as much as $18 billion. Child safety groups and former Meta employees welcomed the proposed changes to how the platforms will work for teens. They also said states should have demanded more. Reports indicate the agreement ends one major court battle while a wider legal war looms.
