Meta Platforms is grappling with multiple lawsuits alleging its products harm young users, including a $942 million fine from New Mexico for child safety issues and an $18 billion settlement with 48 US states. As part of the settlement, Meta has agreed to implement daily time limits and night-time blocks for young users. Despite these legal challenges and negative publicity, the company reported a 3% year-on-year increase in app usage and a 28% rise in second-quarter revenue compared to 2025.
