This is a step but a huge one indeed!

BREAKING: A landmark win for kids' online safety 📱

Meta just reached a settlement with 47 states, D.C., and U.S. territories over claims it knowingly built addictive platforms for kids — agreeing to pay up to $17.1 billion in penalties and overhaul how teens use Instagram and Facebook.

What's changing for teen accounts:
→ 2-hour daily time limit across FB + Instagram (parent permission required to lift it)
→ No access midnight–6am; notifications silenced 10pm–7am
→ Likes hidden by default
→ "Extreme" beauty filters blocked
→ Option for a non-algorithmic feed + autoplay off
→ Stronger age verification + new parental controls

D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb called it "a monumental public health victory for young people" — and noted Meta won't be the last platform to settle.

The deal still needs a judge's sign-off, but the message is clear: the tide is turning on Big Tech's grip on kids' attention.

This is why Wait Until 8th exists: to give kids a childhood before the algorithm gets a vote. The wind is finally at our backs!
