A landmark settlement could change the way children use social media.

This past Wednesday, Meta has agreed to a multistate settlement worth up to $17.1 billion resolving claims that Instagram and Facebook were designed with addictive features that harmed young users.

The agreement requires significant new safeguards for minors, including a combined two-hour daily time limit on Facebook and Instagram, overnight access restrictions, limits on notifications during school hours, stronger age verification and parental controls, and restrictions on certain social-comparison features.

Here in Connecticut, the state is expected to receive up to $265.4 million, with at least half of those funds directed toward programs addressing youth harms associated with social media.

This settlement represents one of the most significant legal actions yet addressing the responsibilities social media companies have toward children and teens.

What do you think: will these changes make social media safer for kids?
