Experts: Meta's $17B settlement lacks teeth; permanent law needed for real social media reform
The settlement requires Meta to pay up to $17 billion over 10 years and implement product changes like a midnight-to-6 a.m. blackout and a two-hour daily cap. However, the oversight is limited to five years, relies on Meta's own definitions, and lacks detailed public disclosure. An independent auditor is a positive step, but lasting industry-wide change would require legislation.
