Missouri will receive an estimated $100 million to $150 million as part of an $18 billion settlement between Meta and 48 states over allegations that its Facebook and Instagram platforms harmed children’s mental health.
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway announced Missouri’s share Wednesday but did not specify how the money would be used.
The settlement also requires Meta to adopt additional safety measures for young users. The company denied wrongdoing but said the agreement could establish new standards for teen safety.
