Meta's $18bn settlement may hasten reckoning for social media on child safety

Meta has agreed to pay $18 billion. This is because of child safety issues. People are worried about how safe social media is for children. Some think this will make social media change. They hope it will be safer for everyone.

The BBC's technology editor, Zoe Kleinman, thinks this is important. She says maybe we will spend less time looking at bad news online. This could be good for our health. We will have to wait and see what happens next.
