Facebook and Instagram owner Meta on Wednesday agreed to block teens from using its apps at night and to impose a default two-hour cap on their cumulative daily use across the company’s family of apps.

The measures were part of a $16.7 billion settlement with US states over claims that Meta deliberately engineered its platforms to hook young users, misled the public about the risks and unlawfully collected data from children under 13.
