Will Meta's massive settlement in a landmark US suit spur it to implement age restriction measures worldwide?

Meta has reached a $18 billion settlement with U.S. states and territories over allegations that its platforms harmed children and misled the public about their safety. The agreement includes implementing age restriction measures such as daily time limits and nighttime blocks over the next decade.

However, there is uncertainty about whether Meta will extend these measures globally, as the company may choose different approaches in various regions.
