What the court demanded

Beyond fines, the court required new safety steps, including monthly limits for teens on Instagram and Facebook, tighter notification rules, barriers to adults contacting strangers under 18, and a fund to address harms. About $420 million was allocated for clinical and behavioral programs to help affected young people. Meta says it will appeal and disputes the ruling.

Harry’s response and ongoing fights

Harry praised the outcome as accountability catching up with corporate choices that prioritised engagement over safety. He and Meghan have long campaigned for stronger protections through Archewell, meeting families and spotlighting losses linked to online harm. The company still faces other state and federal lawsuits, including trials in California and Tennessee.
