(Lansing, MI) – The state of Michigan will receive 171-million-dollars in a settlement with Meta Platforms Incorporated to resolve claims Facebook and Instagram were designed to addict children. Meta will pay 16-point-68-billion-dollars to settle the case. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says the “historic settlement holds Meta accountable and puts critical, first-of-its-kind safeguards in place to protect Michigan kids.”

The safeguards include nighttime access blocks, removing public counts, and requiring daily screen breaks.
