- The filing asks limits of two hours per day across Meta apps for teens and the disabling of autoplay and infinite scroll for them.1
- Florida wants the changes implemented immediately and kept in place while the lawsuit continues.1
- Meta responded that Florida should focus on other platforms like YouTube and TikTok and called the injunction request meritless after its settlement with most states.1
