> Meta has agreed to broad teen-safety changes on Instagram and Facebook in a settlement with attorneys general from 51 US states and territories. The measures include two-hour daily limits, nighttime restrictions, age assurance, and stronger default privacy protections. Most must remain for at least 10 years, while Meta says it may pay $17.1 billion to states over the decade.
