I would love to think that Mark Zuckerberg saw the light. Meta, Zuckerberg’s massive tech company that owns Facebook and Instagram, agreed to a $17 billion settlement with 47 state attorneys general who had sued the company for deliberately addicting children to its products. In addition to the financial penalties, Meta agreed to implement features that would support youth mental health, such as a default daily time limit of two hours, alongside nighttime blocking features, for users under 18.
