Louisiana Gets $180M to Protect Kids Online | New Orleans News

Louisiana’s getting a massive $180.9 million from Meta to overhaul how Facebook and Instagram handle kids — with automatic two-hour daily limits, overnight bans, and fewer school-day notifications. The deal, born from a landmark trial accusing Meta of exploiting underage users, also lets Louisiana snag an extra $67 million if other platforms join the safety pact. It echoes a state law blocked last year — now, Meta’s agreeing to reforms that could set industry-wide standards. And it’s just the start: new lawsuits are hitting Snap and Discord for failing to protect children online. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
