Of the $18 billion settlement which Meta will pay over 10 years, Pennsylvania is expected to receive $516 million, and up to $729 million.
“The days of Meta ignoring the damage its platforms cause kids are over,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said in a statement. “This is a landmark settlement that brings transformative changes to these hugely-popular social media spaces. These settlement terms will implement effective age restrictions, put a stop to endless scrolling, and limit body-altering filters that skew students’ feelings of self-worth.”
