Meta settles with the states over child safety failures
Why it matters
Meta agreed to pay over $17B and adopt mandatory two-hour daily limits plus overnight cutoffs for under-18 users, after internal research reportedly showed hiding like counts would help but was shelved over a 1% ad revenue hit. The settlement is being framed as a new industry standard, so YouTube and TikTok may face pressure to match these defaults to avoid similar liability. Anyone running youth-adjacent social campaigns should expect tighter platform-side guardrails soon.
