Meta's $18B teen safety deal may force rivals into stricter limits
Meta agreed to pay up to $18 billion and implement sweeping teen safety changes as part of a settlement with state attorneys general. Nearly a third of that payout depends on TikTok, YouTube, and Snap adopting similar restrictions, which would trigger even tighter limits like a 60-minute daily cap. Legal experts say this unusual structure creates pressure on competitors to follow suit.
