Meta agrees to $18bn settlement over harm from addictive social media products targeting teens.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, agreed to an $18 billion settlement following accusations from US states that its platforms harm children with addictive features. The settlement imposes restrictions on teen accounts, including time limits and parental controls, but critics argue it doesn't fully address harmful content or Zuckerberg's leadership role. Experts call for Zuckerberg's resignation to prioritize user safety over profits, highlighting ongoing issues with misinformation, mental health, and regulatory challenges. This settlement signals tougher scrutiny ahead for Meta and social media regulation.
