Meta has reached a settlement requiring major overhauls to its two largest platforms, Instagram and Facebook, following regulatory scrutiny over privacy and youth safety concerns. The changes aim to address long-standing issues related to data protection and the impact of its services on younger users. Users may see adjustments to content algorithms, data-sharing practices, and parental controls as part of the restructuring. The agreement marks a significant shift in how the company operates its most widely used apps under heightened oversight.
The social media giant also agreed to make sweeping changes to Instagram and Facebook.
