California AG Applauds Landmark META Settlement

EXCERPT:

BONTA: “You know, we had smoking gun evidence of their violations of the law. You mentioned the financial component of the settlement, but the most important part, the priceless part, are the changes in business practices going forward. The limits on daily use, the nighttime blocks, the blocks on notifications during school and at night when kids should be sleeping and studying instead of scrolling, the blocks on cosmetic filters, on cosmetic beauty filters, on likes and reactions to their posts, that is what is going to protect the mental health of kids and stop META from visiting depression and anxiety, suicidal tendencies, learning loss, addictive traits on our kids, tendencies on our kids. So that is the valuable part. That is transformative. It's historic. It's a milestone. I think history will look back and see this as an inflection moment where, led by the AGs, we decided to protect our kids' mental health.”
