The size of the settlement is massive and represents a huge victory for kids’ online safety.
We are really excited to put this money into efforts that are going to continue to help protect our kids.
This is historic, this is a shift in how Meta and these companies are going to operate.
When this trial began, I said we would hold Meta accountable and today I’ve kept that promise.
Meta’s design was a cynical attempt to create a lifetime user, regardless of the psychological damage and harm our children were exposed to.
