Meta lawsuit: Is social media about to change? (Cybernews)
What this story was about
Cybernews quoted James Rubinowitz on Meta's $18 billion settlement with 29 states over alleged harm to children and teens, and the changes the agreement may bring to Instagram and Facebook. The article examined measures including time limits, mandatory breaks, parental tools, and changes to features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, visible likes, and cosmetic filters.
James explained that the case targets Meta's own platform design rather than user posts, which are protected by Section 230. He compared the distinction to attacking the slot machine rather than the artwork shown when someone hits a jackpot.
