$Meta reaches $17 billion settlement with states in landmark trial over teen social media addiction (26 Aug 2026) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS ARCHIVE: Menlo Park, California - 3 February 2023 1. Various exteriors of Meta headquarters ASSOCIATED PRESS ARCHIVE - Burlingame, California - 4 May 2022 2. Various exteriors of Meta Store STORYLINE: Meta has agreed to pay $17 billion and add child-safety measures to its Facebook and Instagram platforms to end a landmark trial over teen social media addiction and settle claims filed by 47 states, state attorneys general announced Wednesday. California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey were among 29 states that sued the tech giant in 2023, but the deal cuts short the trial, which was expected to see CEO Mark Zuckerberg take the stand before a jury in federal court in California. The agreement is worth $353 million in Virginia alone and is one of the biggest in state consumer protection history, Attorney General Jay Jones said in a statement. “For years, Meta intentionally deceived the public about the addictive and harmful design features that have wreaked havoc on youth mental health, Jones said. The settlement will put an end to these dangerous practices and deliver meaningful relief that will protect children from online harm.” Meta said in a blog post that it was “building on our longstanding efforts to empower parents and support teens.” “Ensuring teens have a safe and productive experience on our platforms is an absolute imperative for Meta,” the company said. “We want to get this right for parents and teens, and that’s why we partnered with state attorneys general to set a new industry standard. The company urged its rivals to adopt similar safety measures. The $17 billion settlement is a fraction of Metas 2025 revenue of $201 billion.
