Meta has agreed to pay up to $17 billion and make sweeping changes to Instagram and Facebook as part of a landmark child safety settlement with nearly every U.S. state. The deal introduces new protections for teens, including time limits, overnight blocks and stronger age verification, changes that could fundamentally alter how young people use Meta’s platforms. But implementing those safeguards, particularly determining users’ ages, presents major technical and business challenges. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin examines how Meta plans to pull it off, and why the settlement could ultimately force changes across TikTok, YouTube and the rest of the social media industry.
