Meta has agreed to a settlement worth $17 billion to resolve claims filed by 47 states over teen social media addiction. The company will also implement child-safety measures on its Facebook and Instagram platforms. This agreement brings an end to a landmark trial, avoiding the need for CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify in federal court.
The settlement is one of the largest in state consumer protection history, with individual states receiving significant payouts. For example, Virginia will receive $353 million.
Further details about the settlement and its implications are available from the source.
