CNBC discusses Meta's $12.6 billion settlement with 49 states over allegations it misrepresented child mental health harms from Facebook and Instagram. Jim Cramer argues the settlement is far better than feared, removes a major existential overhang, and that Meta stock's small gain shows how hated it remains. The discussion also covers legal fees and how consent-decree remedies around screen time could hit YouTube and TikTok more than Meta.

Идеи
Meta settlement removes existential threat; stock hated.
Meta's settlement with 49 states is a much better outcome than feared: the $12.6 billion payment over ten years is small relative to Meta's massive capex and removes the biggest existential threat, while the stock's negligible gain shows how hated Meta remains; the remedies around minors' screen time should only slightly affect Meta because kids spend more time on YouTube and TikTok.
