*🇺🇸-Florida Rejects Meta’s $17 Billion Kids Settlement* Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says the state is not joining the massive Meta deal over Facebook and Instagram’s impact on children. Meta agreed to pay up to about $17 billion and make platform changes for minors, including stronger age checks, daily time limits, overnight restrictions, and a ban on features like plastic surgery filters. The company denies wrongdoing. The deal still needs court approval.

His message: Florida will see them at trial. Texas and New Mexico are also staying out and pursuing their own cases.
