  • Meta will pay 17 billion dollars settling accusations of its toxic algorithms on social media.
  • 29 state governments in the US have faced the company with allegations of abuses against minors.
  • This agreement implies Meta's commitment to establish stricter usage limits for minors.
  • Meta will have to introduce measures such as usage restrictions, parental controls, and age verification.
  • This signals the beginning of the end of self-regulation for big tech firms.

Conclusion: This is a turning point in the business practices of social media companies that will force major tech companies to take responsibility for their effects on users, particularly minors, and shows that their harmful practices will not be ignored by governments.
