Iowa Gets $126M from Meta for Kids Online | Cedar Rapids News

Iowa just landed a $126 million settlement from Meta — plus an extra $9 million — to tackle how social media harms kids.

Meta’s also agreeing to strict teen limits: 2 hours daily, mandatory breaks, no overnight access, and silenced notifications during school days — plus bans on harmful filters.
