In 2022, the Spence family spoke with 60 Minutes about the impact of Meta’s Instagram platform on their daughter. At just 11, Alexis was able to join Instagram, despite the platform’s policy of not allowing kids under 13 to participate. Her parents allege in a lawsuit that the app led Alexis into a depression and eating disorder. On Wednesday, Meta reached an agreement with dozens of states, settling claims that the social media platform harms and addicts children. The tech giant will pay up to $18 billion in penalties and add stronger child-safety measures to its products. #meta #socialmedia #instagram #tech
