Meta has agreed to implement new measures for teen users, including age verification and a two-hour daily usage limit, as part of a settlement with 29 state attorneys general. The agreement aims to address concerns about the safety of teens on Meta's platforms.
“Meta settled its latest kids online safety trial today, and it agreed to implement age verification, two hour usage limits and pay $17.1 billion dollars to states.”
“So this is sort of a de-continuing of a losing streak for meta.”
“But it's a lot of money and they're agreeing to a bunch of changes that they have fought in other circumstances.”
