Meta will pay $18 billion, the largest social media addiction settlement ever, over claims it hooked kids on purpose. Here’s what every parent needs to know.
Lori Schott lost her daughter Annalee to suicide in 2020 after social media consumed her life. Lori’s spent every year since fighting to get platforms, and parents, to change. Her story will stop you cold.
Plus, a Kentucky family turned down $26 million from an AI data center for their 200-year-old farm. Their answer? They’re waiting for Jesus. (Seriously.)
And two viral TikToks worth your time. Maria spotted a security camera right outside her exam room. At a gynecologist’s office. Yikes. B.D. watched his Shake Shack order get more expensive in real time because he didn’t tip at the kiosk. Over 4 million views. Milkshakes bring all the fees to the yard.
