What happened
Meta settled a legal battle with dozens of state attorneys general by agreeing to pay $17 billion and implement new safety features across its platforms, including stricter time limits for underage users, silenced notifications during school hours, and a "night mode" feature. The settlement does not create a direct consumer claim process; it is an enforcement agreement between Meta and state authorities.
Do you qualify?
This is not a consumer class action settlement. It is a government enforcement settlement between Meta and state attorneys general. No individual consumer claims are being accepted.
How to file
No consumer claims process is available. This settlement was reached between Meta and state authorities and results in implementation of platform safety features and monetary payment to the states rather than direct compensation to consumers.
Common questions
- How much does the Meta Trust and Safety Settlement with State Attorneys General pay?
- The total settlement fund is $17B. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- Is the Meta Trust and Safety Settlement with State Attorneys General notice real, or a scam?
- Claims are filed at tubefilter.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Meta Trust and Safety Settlement with State Attorneys General be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. Payments cannot be issued until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
