Meta Agrees to Sweeping Changes to Apps for Teens The landmark lawsuit against Meta has finally come to an end, with the social media giant agreeing to sweeping changes in its apps aimed at protecting teenage users.
The settlement requires that many of Meta's safety limitations become default settings for teenager accounts, ending the need for parents and guardians to opt in for child safety features.
This change acknowledges a fundamental truth: tech companies have a long history of designing products that prioritize engagement over user well being.
