Meta has agreed to a settlement of approximately $18 billion with a group of states over a lawsuit alleging that its social media platforms were designed to be addictive to teenagers. The settlement includes restrictions for teen users, such as limiting scrolling to two hours per day and prohibiting nighttime use. Experts are divided on the deal, with some calling it shrewd to avoid potentially massive damages, while critics argue the protections may be difficult to enforce. The settlement is subject to approval by a federal judge.
