Meta Settles $18 Billion Child Safety Lawsuit
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This settlement is a massive payout but still leaves Meta's core business model of addictive design unchallenged.
💡 Why it matters
The $18 billion settlement sets a precedent for holding tech giants accountable for youth mental health harms but may not deter future exploitative practices.
Meta settles for $18 billion in lawsuit brought by 29 states over social media harms to children.
