did it

work? So I've been hearing the number 47 and 48, and I can't figure out which it is.

I need to count.

But it's either 47 or 48 states have settled with META.

And these trials were going to be on a rolling basis.

There was already four states in day six of a trial in federal court happening right now.

But basically, the attorneys general for 47 or 48 states came together and accepted a settlement from META that ended that trial that was happening.

Is there anything that you want to share with parents based on what you're learning there and maybe why you're looking?

So can you give us the coolest notes of that case and then tell us what your immediate reaction was when you learned they were settling?

Yes.

So back in 2023, a bunch of states, I think about there's been reports of 47 or 48.

I need to count them.

I'm going to say 47.

They sued Meta and you and you said the allegations already, but basically for addicting children and failing to.

alert the public.

How does that sit with you with this settlement, right? Can it still be considered meta taking accountability if the lack of admission of wrongdoing isn't there?

I'm guessing though that the people who threaten children online really don't care what laws are getting passed, um, so how do we stop the predators?

Yeah, the predators flock to platforms like Roblox and Instagram and Snapchat because they, it's a directory of children and teens.

There's anonymity there that the predators can hide behind.

Platform, uh, there's, uh, encryption so their crimes are hidden.

I mean, on Snapchat, the snaps literally disappear on the front end and the back end, so when law enforcement subpoenas Snapchat, they often, per a lot of reports, don't reply or don't send, uh, send... evidence of these crimes.

And so, we do need help from a legislative level.

There was recently a, a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing and a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to discuss dozens of different online safety bills.

What are your demands? And is it only to Apple or for all of these platforms, all of these companies, I should say?
