AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoBig Tech Accountability: Meta agreed to pay up to about $17.1–$18 billion in a multistate settlement over claims it used addictive design on Instagram and Facebook and misled families about risks to children, with the deal ending a major federal trial and requiring sweeping youth-safety changes. Youth Safety Rules: The terms include a default two-hour daily limit for under-18 users across the two apps, “productive pauses” during continuous use, nighttime blocks (midnight to 6 a.m.), reduced school-hour push notifications, stronger age verification, tighter content controls, and limits on features like public like counts and certain cosmetic filters. Territory in the Mix: The settlement covers claims brought by 47 states plus D.C., Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, meaning American Samoa is part of the group pushing for the new safeguards. Local Payouts Elsewhere: Reported state shares include Tennessee (~$752M net), Michigan (at least ~$171M), Missouri ($100M–$150M), Hawaii (up to ~$76M), Wyoming (~$13.3M), and South Dakota (minimum ~$52.6M).
