Iowa to receive more than $135M in landmark Facebook and Instagram settlement – KCRG

DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) - Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird says Iowa will receive more than $135 million as part of a settlement with Meta. In Wednesday’s announcement, Meta will pay $17 billion and add child safety measures to its Facebook and Instagram platforms to end a landmark trial over teen social media addiction and settle claims filed by 47 states. Bird said this is one of the biggest settlements in state consumer protection history. Iowa will receive its payout in ten installments. Meta also settled connected claims that Meta shared private Facebook user information with third parties. That settlement is around $9 million of the total payout to Iowa. “After today’s win, Iowa children will be safer online. Our victory is a win for kids and for the families that love them,” Bird said in a statement. “And this is just the beginning in my fight against Big Tech to ensure Iowa children are protected.” The settlement is a fraction of Meta’s 2025 revenue of $201 billion.  » Read More

Your boss’s monitoring app didn’t just watch you — it shared your data to Facebook and a … – Fortune

College administrators read an adjunct professor’s comments to students on personal essays. Managers told a pharmacist to spend less time with patients after tracking the number and length of her appointments. Scanners on a warehouse conveyor belt monitored the pace of workers to ensure they inspected hundreds of items per hour. Thousands of employers are keeping tabs on the whereabouts, productivity and communications of workers with technology that was adopted widely during the coronavirus pandemic. A vast array of digital tools still are being used to track locations, collect data on task completion rates, and access work-issued smartphone and laptop cameras, raising concerns about how much privacy employees have relinquished, even in their own homes. Employers have always monitored workers, but recent advances in artificial intelligence and data science enable them to create extensive data sets or “dossiers” that can be used to punish workers or attempt to predict employee behavior, said Wilneida Negrón, director of research and policy at Coworker, a nonprofit that helps workers organize to improve working conditions.  » Read More
