Meta to cap teen social media at two hours daily as part of $18B state settlement
Meta has agreed to pay nearly $18 billion to settle child-safety claims brought by most US states, with the deal requiring court approval. The company will impose a default two-hour daily limit on teen use of Facebook and Instagram, block access between midnight and 6 am, and mute notifications during school hours. Florida, however, rejected the settlement, calling the amount 'peanuts' and pursuing its own case.
