This is the new floor — not the ceiling — for how social media platforms protect kids online. Meta was the first company to come to the table and agree to necessary reforms. It will not be the last.

Our settlement requires @Meta to adopt sweeping child safety protections on Facebook and Instagram. We are setting a new standard for how social media platforms keep kids safe online.

NEW: Meta will pay up to $129 million to DC for exploiting children with intentionally addictive social media. Instagram and Facebook will adopt sweeping child safety protections to transform how social media platforms protect kids. This is the largest big tech settlement ever.

Hands-on experience ➡️ fun and learning I loved spending time with @BESTKidsDC participants this month as they wrapped up their 8-week summer program on small business and local government. Shoutout to BEST Kids, @Hgarrett4dc, and King Street Oyster Bar for mentoring DC youth!

Yesterday, 6 MPD members were arrested for widespread overtime fraud. In 2024 alone, they got $441,137 for work they did not do – exploiting the DC residents they took an oath to serve and protect. Public officials cannot abuse their positions of power.
