AG Weiser announces historic settlement with Meta Platforms

Published Date: Aug 26, 2026

Meta will pay over $17 billion and implement sweeping child-safety reforms on Instagram and Facebook under one of the largest state consumer protection settlements in history. 

“The relief we are getting in this settlement is very meaningful and well beyond what any court has ordered or is likely to order,” Attorney General Weiser said. “The focus of this case was to protect our kids—stopping notifications and alerts at night and when they are in school, encouraging them to take breaks from social media, protecting them against harmful features, implementing age assurance technology, and more. Today’s action is an important step forward and I welcome Meta’s decision to accept responsibility and to collaborate with the multistate coalition to protect kids who deserve better.”
