Meta agrees to $1 billion Texas settlement and new child-safety controls
Meta agreed to pay $1 billion and add child-safety controls to its platforms to settle a Texas lawsuit alleging harm to children.
Meta agreed to pay $1 billion and implement additional protections for young users under a settlement with Texas. The agreement resolves state allegations that the company's social-media platforms harmed children.
The Texas attorney general's office said the required measures include new guardrails for children's accounts. Some child-health specialists told the publisher that the changes do not address every concern about algorithmic feeds.
