Meta’s proposed multistate settlement would require changes to Facebook and Instagram aimed at improving child safety, including a combined two-hour daily limit, mandatory Productive Pauses (interruptions to prolonged scrolling), overnight access restrictions and the removal of push notifications during much of the school day. The agreement would also address age assurance, parental controls, harmful content involving bullying, eating disorders, suicide and self-harm, and social-comparison features such as beauty filters and visible like counts. Attorney Sean C. Domnick of Rafferty Domnick Cunningham & Yaffa argues that the provisions shift responsibility toward platform design rather than relying only on warnings, parental supervision or children’s self-control. Independent auditors and participating states would assess whether the protections work, while the agreement could prompt further changes if other major social media platforms adopt comparable safeguards. The proposed settlement remains subject to court approval.
