A settlement has been reached between Meta and US state attorneys general. This agreement resolves lawsuits claiming that Instagram and Facebook encourage excessive use among young users. As a result, a nighttime restriction may be imposed on teenagers.

The settlement stems from accusations that the company designed its platforms to be addictive and misrepresented the associated risks. It also addresses the improper collection of data from children under 13.

Further information about the settlement and its potential impact is available, including whether the nighttime restriction will be implemented in other regions.
