Meta's $18B child safety settlement imposes teen time limits and hides likes
Meta has agreed to a landmark settlement with US state attorneys general over allegations that its platforms were designed to be addictive to minors. The company will enforce a two-hour daily usage cap for users under 18, block access between midnight and 6 a.m., and hide like counts by default. The $18 billion penalty will fund online safety programs and youth mental health initiatives.
