Texas AG Secures Over $1 Billion from Meta in Historic Settlement that Protects Texas Kids Online
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has reached a landmark settlement with Meta Platforms, Inc., securing over $1 billion aimed at enhancing online safety for Texas children. The agreement mandates Meta to implement new protective measures, including stricter age verification and a daily two-hour limit for teen users. Additionally, notifications will be disabled during school hours unless altered by parents, and social media interactions will be hidden by default to reduce social comparison. The funds will support youth mental health services, crisis resources, and digital literacy programs. This marks Paxton's third major settlement with Big Tech companies regarding child safety.
