> Meta Platforms has agreed to pay $16.7 billion to settle a high-profile case over harm allegedly caused to teens through its social media platforms. The sum is far below the company’s worst-case estimate of up to $1.4 trillion in penalties if the accusations had been upheld at their most severe levels.
