Meta agrees to pay up to $18 billion to end trial over Instagram, Facebook child addiction claims
Two-hour daily caps, forced "pauses," and a midnight lockout are coming to teen accounts. Skeptics say it doesn't go far enough
Winners & losers: Meta has agreed to pay as much as $18 billion and overhaul how minors use Instagram and Facebook, settling a lawsuit that accused the company of designing its platforms to addict children. Court filings and a Meta blog post confirmed the deal this morning. The agreement ends a trial that began August 18 in Oakland, and was expected to run through early October. It also means Mark Zuckerberg won't have to take the stand as planned. Instagram head Adam Mosseri had already testified before the settlement landed.
