Meta has reached a settlement with US states and territories over a court case linked to child safety on Facebook and Instagram. The Mark Zuckerberg-led tech giant will pay up to $16.7 billion to a coalition of US states and introduce sweeping new limits on how teenagers use its social media platforms. The agreement was filed in court on Wednesday and brings a landmark trial in California to an end. The proposed settlement would resolve claims brought by 29 states. They accused Meta of deliberately designing its platforms to hook young users, misleading the public about the risks and unlawfully collecting data from children under 13. The new restrictions on young users go further than any measures Meta has previously accepted. The changes follow years of criticism from parents and experts over the impact of major social media platforms on children. Concerns over apps such as Instagram and Facebook, along with rival platforms including Snapchat and TikTok, have also led to the introduction of age limits and smartphone bans in schools across the world.

The company had warned that losing the case in court could have exposed it to more than $1 trillion in penalties.

The court filing states that the settlement does not amount to an admission of liability or wrongdoing by Meta. The company has consistently denied the allegations. The agreement will also need court approval before it takes effect. New limits for teenage users The biggest changes under the agreement are not financial. Meta has agreed to introduce several new safeguards that will significantly change how teenagers use its platforms. Under one measure, Facebook and Instagram will automatically block teenage users between midnight and 6:00 am local time. Teenage accounts will also have a default limit of two hours of cumulative daily use across Meta's apps. Time spent messaging or watching long-form video will not count towards the limit. Both restrictions could become stricter if other social media companies adopt similar measures. Meta has presented the agreement as a possible framework for the wider social media industry and urged its competitors to follow the same approach.

<p>Meta’s Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Bosworth, shared a short video showing the Oakley and Meta logos, but no details of the product itself.&nbsp; The same teaser was posted on the Instagram of “Oakley | Meta”. “The next evolution is coming on June 20,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also reposted the teaser, adding to the growing interest.</p><h2><strong>Continuing Meta’s smart glasses journey</strong></h2><p>Meta first entered the smart glasses space in 2021 with its Ray-Ban Stories. The glasses included built-in speakers and a camera but lacked augmented reality features. The second generation, launched in 2023 at $299, improved the camera and audio quality and introduced an AI-powered assistant.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This latest collaboration with Oakley may offer a new version of the smart glasses, either an upgraded model or a sport-focused design using the same core technology. The teaser suggests that the new glasses may build on the Ray-Ban Meta design but with a look and feel that matches Oakley’s athletic style.</p><h2><strong>Part of a wider partnership</strong></h2><p>Oakley and Ray-Ban are both owned by EssilorLuxottica, an Italy-based eyewear company. This makes the new Oakley-Meta smart glasses a natural follow-up to the existing Ray-Ban collaboration. A Bloomberg report from earlier this year claimed the new glasses may be based on the Oakley Sphaera model, and could feature a centrally located camera, differing from the Ray-Ban model’s corner-mounted lens.</p><h2><strong>What we might see on 20 June</strong></h2><p>While official specs have not been shared, fans are hoping for upgrades in camera clarity, audio performance, and AI assistant functions. There is also speculation that these smart glasses will be targeted at sports users and outdoor activities, in line with Oakley’s reputation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This launch highlights Meta’s continued push into wearable devices, signalling its ambition to lead in next-gen digital experiences that go beyond smartphones and screens.</p>
