#Meta will initially pay about $12 billion. That sum increases to $17.1 billion if #Snap, #TikTok & #YouTube also settle with the #states & agree to financial penalties & product changes.
“Meta wouldn’t settle unless it sees the writing on the wall & feels really exposed,” said Nora Freeman Engstrom, a law professor at Stanford University.

#Meta still faces numerous other lawsuits from #SchoolDistricts & individuals, some of which are scheduled for trial in the coming months.
The #settlement could signal an inflection point for a #SocialMedia industry that has largely escaped #regulatory scrutiny over the harms its products have caused #children. The settlement amount is one of the highest ever paid by a #tech company to #states.
-
The #settlement effectively ends a bellwether federal trial in the US Northern District of California in Oakland, where California, Colorado, Kentucky & New Jersey were seeking roughly $200 billion over accusations that #Meta harmed #children. The states filed their agreement with Meta on Wednesday morning in that court, where Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers is expected to approve it.

In a dramatic capitulation, the owner of #Facebook & #Instagram agreed to the financial penalties for violating federal #child #privacy & states’ #ConsumerProtection laws, the #states announced. #Meta also agreed to limit how long #teenagers can spend on its platforms & to bans on features that stoke #MentalHealth issues,striking at the heart of the company’s business of #engagement for advertising.

In one state, there are fifty states, and this is a small state.
European Countries could do the same, each. Each.
One small American State fined META 500 million dollars. What will your prosecutors get for kids?
And make it gets to kids.
And THIS is a solution AND ID CHECKS AND AGE checks are NOT.
Half a billion for kids!!

#Somali school in #Minnesota faces threats after #Trump posts clip of #kindergartners
Trump’s post clearly showed the students’ faces. Replies filled with anti - #Muslim invectives, including one user who labeled the #children “future terrorists.”#Unfit #law #ChildEndangerment #WhiteSupremacy #Islamophobia

“The new information I obtained leads me to believe that the Department is laying the groundwork for another #lawless #deportation effort, this time on a greater scale, across more countries of origin,” Wyden wrote.
“You have been entrusted with the care & safety of the #children placed within the ORR network. Proceeding with this plan knowingly endangers their lives & violates your duty to these vulnerable children.”
-
Wyden, who is the ranking member and senior Democrat of the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Office of #Refugee Resettlement, did not detail how he came by his information. His office declined to provide further details. The ORR, which oversees the care of unaccompanied #immigrant #children, falls under the Department of Health and Human Services.
An #HHS spox denied any such plans.

Sen #RonWyden of Oregon wrote in a letter Wednesday to #US Health Secretary #RFKJr that he had “credible information” that the #Trump admin had a list of more than 500 #immigrant #children it was targeting for a fast-track removal process & that the department was racing to act in days. He warned that the admin was abdicating “core humanitarian & child welfare mandates” & demanded an immediate halt to any plans to remove the children.

"In a detailed report released last week, titled The Urgent Case Against #DataCenters, #FWW pointed to some of the 'documented harms caused by #AI and data centers,' including:
- Enormous #energy footprints: A single hyperscale data center can consume as much energy as 2 million US households.
- A lifeline for #FossilFuels: The thirst for fuel is being met by keeping old #coal-fired power plants running and by building new natural gas ones. [And restarting old #NuclearPlants]
- Skyrocketing electricity costs: Increased #EnergyDemand can raise residential rates, which soared 31% from 2020 to 2025 (compared to 4% from 2015 to 2020).
- Drained water resources: By 2028, AI data centers could use as much water as 18.5 million households, just for cooling their servers.
- An investment bubble: A handful of companies are investing in one another and increasingly turning to risky debt structures to hide the threat of the bubble.
- A litany of other harms: This includes massive amounts of electronic waste (#EWaste), unrelenting noise pollution, loss of #farmland, political instability from #deepfake videos, lost revenue from data center tax incentives, and #ChildEndangerment from #AI #chatbots."#NoDatacenters #NoAI

#Immigrant Family Files a Lawsuit Claiming Their Toddler Was Returned to an #ICE Jail Amid a #Measles Outbreak
#DemocracyNow, Feb 11, 2026
"In more immigration news, an immigrant family filed a lawsuit earlier this month, saying their 18-month-old toddler was returned to the #ICEJail in #Dilley, #Texas, amid a measles outbreak and denied medication after she was hospitalized with a life-threatening respiratory illness. The girl is identified as 'Amalia' in the lawsuit. The girl and her two parents have since been released from ICE custody."

But for the past 3 months, that office has also locked some #teenage immigrant #boys inside a secure #juvenile #prison in southeast #Pennsylvania with a long & publicly documented history of staff physically & sexually abusing juvenile offenders in its care, a WaPo investigation has found.

“This administration is working fearlessly to end the tragedy of human trafficking & other abuses of unaccompanied alien children who enter the country illegally,” said “Health” Secretary #RFKJr, who oversees the Office of #Refugee Resettlement, or #ORR, which cares for unaccompanied #immigrant #children.

The #Trump admin says it is focused on protecting unaccompanied #immigrant #children. It imposed strict new background checks on those seeking custody of young migrants & cut ties with a chain of youth shelters accused of subjecting children in its care to pervasive sexual abuse.

Pennsylvania recently revoked a license for the secure #JuvenileDetentionCenter where the admin sends some #immigrant children, even some with NO pending criminal charges.

I know how most of you feel about WaPo, but I go by the journalists’ records of journalistic integrity. It’s hard to get a job as an investigative reporter. Also this is an exclusive … so, #GiftArticle

As secy of #HHS in the 2nd #Trump admin, #RFKJr has pushed an array of #pseudoscience & #disinformation, foremost about #vaccines. His approach has been to promote claims that are unsupported by evidence or have been disproven by #ScientificResearch, & to announce that HHS is pouring resources into studying those baseless claims.
