An important development in the ongoing conversation around teens and social media.

Meta has reached an agreement with a bipartisan group of 52 attorneys general to establish new protections for teens and give parents greater control over how their children use Facebook and Instagram.

The agreement includes default daily time limits, overnight restrictions, muted notifications during school hours, stronger parental controls, and additional age-assurance measures — while also calling for broader industry adoption of similar standards.

Read more about the agreement and what it means for teens and parents:

Today, we are announcing an agreement with a bipartisan group of 51 attorneys general across US states, territories, and the District of Columbia, building on our longstanding efforts to empower parents and support teens.

Some announcements are even better the second time around!

Last year, we introduced Lindsay Gothard as our summer intern. This year, we're excited to welcome her back as a full-time Government Relations Specialist.

After graduating from Northeastern University with a degree in Political Science and Environmental Studies, Lindsay officially returned to the Serlin Haley team. Along the way, she also gained valuable experience through a co-op with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

Watching Lindsay grow from intern to colleague has been a lot of fun, and we're excited to see all she'll accomplish in this next chapter.

Welcome back, Lindsay! 🎉
