Meta Settles with States, Agrees to Major Restrictions on Teen Access to Its Apps
Meta has reached a settlement with multiple state attorneys general that will significantly alter how teenagers interact with the company's apps. Under the agreement, Meta plans to implement a daily two-hour time limit for teen users, a restriction that can only be removed with explicit parental permission. The settlement represents one of the most substantial regulatory actions taken against the social media giant regarding minor safety, and the changes mark a notable shift in how young users will be able to engage with platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
