Compania Meta plătește 16,7 miliarde de dolari într-un proces istoric intentat de 29 de state americane

Meta has agreed to pay $16.7 billion to settle a historic lawsuit over allegations of creating addictive platforms for children. The lawsuit, initiated by 29 U.S. states, claimed that Meta misled the public about the safety of Facebook and Instagram. Although Meta does not admit guilt, the settlement avoids potentially larger penalties. The agreement includes strict new rules for teen accounts, such as time limits and parental consent for safety settings. The total payout could reach $18 billion over ten years, with $12.7 billion allocated for mental health and digital education programs. This case sets a significant precedent for tech giants.
