Where this case stands
Payments distributed
The court approved the settlement and the administrator has reported sending payments to class members who filed valid claims.
What happened
Meta settled a legal battle with dozens of state attorneys general over trust and safety issues. As part of the settlement, Meta agreed to implement new safety features across Facebook and Instagram, including stricter time limits for underage users, silenced notifications during school hours, and a "night mode" limiting access during predawn hours.
Do you qualify?
This is a government enforcement settlement with state attorneys general; it does not create a direct consumer claim process. Consumers do not file claims but benefit from safety features implemented on Meta platforms.
How to file
This is a government enforcement settlement, not a consumer class action settlement. No individual consumer claim process exists. Consumers will benefit from the safety features Meta is required to implement on its platforms.
