Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has reached a landmark settlement with Meta Platforms, Inc., resulting in over $1 billion aimed at enhancing online safety for children in Texas. This agreement mandates Meta to introduce new protective measures, including stricter age verification, a daily two-hour limit for teen users, and disabling notifications during school hours unless altered by parents. The funds will support various initiatives such as youth mental health services and digital literacy programs. This marks Paxton's third significant settlement with major tech companies, following previous agreements with Meta and Google for privacy violations.
