00:00:00OTHER IS REALLY NOT WORKING.
00:00:02CONGRESS IS NOT REALLY
00:00:05PRACTICING THE OVERSIGHT -- INCLUDING OF THINGS LIKE WAR
00:00:09POWERS -- THAT THE FOUNDERS ABSOLUTELY INTENDED FOR THEM TO DO.
00:00:12HOST: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TAKE AWAY IS FOR FOLKS?
00:00:16WHY SHOULD THEY READ THIS?
00:00:17GUEST: I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM
00:00:20THAT EVEN IF PEOPLE LIKE GEORGE WASHINGTON WHO WE CELEBRATE,
00:00:23WITH STATUES AND MONUMENTS, IF YOU COULD MAKE AN EXTRAORDINARY
00:00:27MISTAKE -- OR MANY EXTRAORDINARY MISTAKES -- AND STILL GO ON TO
00:00:30DO GREAT THINGS, WE CAN TOO.
00:00:31HOST: THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT
00:00:35GEORGE WASHINGTON'S PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AT MOUNT VERNON AND THE
00:00:38AUTHOR OF THE BOOK "MAKING THE
00:00:40PRESIDENCY: JOHN ADAMS AND THE PRECEDENTS THAT FORGED THE REPUBLIC."
00:00:46YOU CAN FIND THIS PIECE ON THE JOURNAL'S WEBSITE, HOW GEORGE
00:00:50WASHINGTON'S DEFEAT LED TO AMERICA'S VICTORY.
00:00:53AS ALWAYS, WE APPRECIATE THE HISTORY LESSON.
00:00:58TAKE A LOOK AT THE SETTLEMENT AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR META. THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.
00:01:03THEY HAVE AGREED TO PAY UP TO 18
00:01:06BILLION IN PENALTIES, STRICTER
00:01:08AGE VERIFICATION, TWO HOUR DAILY
00:01:12LIMIT ACROSS FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM -- UNLESS PARENTS GIVE
00:01:15PERMISSION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME,
00:01:18THE ABILITY TO TURN OFF AUTOPLAY FEATURE -- MEANING CONTENT NO
00:01:21LONGER JUST AUTOMATICALLY PLAYS,
00:01:25CLEAR PROMPTS AND NOTIFICATIONS TO TEENAGERS EVERY 15 MINUTES OF
00:01:29CONTINUOUS SCREEN TIME, DEFAULT
00:01:31BLOCKS FROM APPS AT NIGHT, AND MUTED NOTIFICATIONS DURING
00:01:35SCHOOL HOURS, AND NEW PARENTAL SUPERVISION CONTROLS.
00:01:38PARENTS CAN DECIDE HOW THEIR TEENS USE THESE APPS.
00:01:42JOINING US TO DISCUSS MORE OF
00:01:44THIS LAWSUIT IS JAY JONES, VIRGINIA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
00:01:48MR. JONES, HOW DID YOU AND THE OTHER STATES COME TOGETHER AND
00:01:52WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO PURSUE
00:01:55THIS LAWSUIT? GUEST: GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
00:01:59I WILL NOTE THAT THIS EFFORT HAS BEEN MORE THAN FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING.
00:02:04I STARTED WITH AN INVESTIGATION IN 2020 ONE, AND IT HAS GOT US
00:02:08TO THIS POINT. I CANNOT UNDERSTATE HOW
00:02:11MONUMENTAL THE RESULT OF THIS SETTLEMENT IS.
00:02:13AND I WOULD SAY THE FOLKS -- ESPECIALLY IN OUR OFFICE WHO STARTED THIS ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
00:02:18-- COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT WE GOT TO THIS POINT ULTIMATELY.
00:02:21THIS IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT IS HISTORIC, NOT JUST FOR
00:02:24VIRGINIA, BUT ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
00:02:27WE HAVE NOT JUST A LANDMARK SETTLEMENT IN TERMS OF DOLLAR
00:02:30FIGURES, BUT THE GUARDRAILS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE WILL KEEP
00:02:34CHILDREN SAFE FOR GENERATIONS, AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS
00:02:38IS A BIPARTISAN EFFORT. THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST
00:02:42DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS. A LARGE COALITION OF STATES WERE
00:02:44ABLE TO SECURE THIS BY WORKING TOGETHER, WHICH I THINK IS
00:02:48REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY IN THIS MOMENT WHERE
00:02:50WE ARE IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY.
00:02:53HOST: THE CASE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS HEADED TO TRIAL, PROCEEDINGS
00:02:56HAD BEGUN COME OUT THAT THE SETTLEMENT COME UP? GUEST: WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
00:03:00IT FOR SOME TIME. IT GAINED MOMENTUM IN RECENT
00:03:04DAYS IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH OF OUR CASE IN CHIEF.
00:03:07WE WERE LITIGATING IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE FACT
00:03:11THAT MY TEAM WAS THERE IN THE COURTROOM ASSISTING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
00:03:15BUT I THINK META SAW THAT THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD DONE OVER
00:03:18THE COURSE MANY YEARS TO HARM CHILDREN REALLY WERE ABOUT TO
00:03:21COME TO A HEAD. SO WE WERE ABLE TO EXTRACT THESE
00:03:25CONCESSIONS FROM THEM THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY THAT OUR CHILDREN
00:03:28ENGAGE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA. IT WILL BE A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT
00:03:31IN THE BUSINESS PRACTICES FOR META AND INSTAGRAM, AND
00:03:34HOPEFULLY MORE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES WILL FOLLOW SUIT SOON.
00:03:37HOST: HOW WILL THE MONEY BE PAID
00:03:44OUT? GUEST: WE WILL GET A PAYMENT IN VIRGINIA IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS AND
00:03:47ANOTHER PAYMENT IN JANUARY -- THEN THEY WILL CONTINUE IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS I THINK FOR EIGHT MORE YEARS. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THAT
00:03:51MONEY COMING INTO OUR STATE. OTHER STATES OBVIOUSLY BENEFIT AS WELL.
00:03:55THE MONEY IS IMPORTANT, BUT I CANNOT UNDERSCORE HOW IMPORTANT
00:03:58THE PROTECTIONS THAT WE SECURED IN THIS SETTLEMENT WILL BE.
00:04:03THE EIGHT RESTRICTIONS, THE INCREASED PARENTAL CONTROLS, THE
00:04:06LIMITING OF NOTIFICATIONS SENT DURING SCHOOL HOURS AND AT NIGHTTIME. THE LIST GOES ON.
00:04:10THESE WILL PUT THESE NECESSARY SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE FOR OUR CHILDREN.
00:04:14I HAVE TWO YOUNG BOYS MYSELF.
00:04:16THEY ARE FOUR AND TWO. ALMOST SCHOOL-AGED.
00:04:19I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR PARENTS ACROSS THIS
00:04:23COUNTRY TO HELP CONTROL THE USAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND WITH THESE CHILDREN ARE SEEING,
00:04:27BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY'VE HAD INCREDIBLY DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND OTHER
00:04:31ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES. THIS IS A HUGE DEBT FORWARD TO
00:04:35KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFE.
00:04:36HOST: DID META AGREE THIS HAS
00:04:39HAD HARM TO CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH? GUEST: YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT IS
00:04:42REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE SHOULD TAKE AWAY FROM THIS IS, THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH THE TERMS AND
00:04:46CONDITIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN PUSHING FOR FOR SO LONG.
00:04:49THIS IS GOING TO HELP CHILDREN IN VIRGINIA. IT'S GOING TO HELP CHILDREN
00:04:52ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. WE KNOW THAT SOCIAL MEDIA HAS
00:04:55BECOME AN ADDICTION. IT HAS BECOME AN EVER PRESENT
00:04:58PART OF THEIR LIVES AND HARMED THEM IN WAYS WE ARE STILL TRYING
00:05:01TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MEASURE. BUT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT STEP
00:05:04FORWARD AND IS A MASSIVE VICTORY FOR PARENTS, FOR CHILDREN, FOR
00:05:08FAMILIES, FOR TEACHERS, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
00:05:11I REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK WE DO THAT'S PART OF A BIPARTISAN
00:05:15COALITION. STATES FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY JOINING TOGETHER TO HOLD THE
00:05:18BIGGEST TECH COMPANY ON THE PLANET ACCOUNTABLE AND DELIVER RESULTS.
00:05:22HOST: THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WASHINGTON TIMES THIS MORNING, MR. JONES.
00:05:25STATES HAVE NO PLANS FOR SPENDING META FUNDS.
00:05:28HARM CHILDREN NOT IN THE SETTLEMENT.
00:05:32THEY GO ON TO NOTE THE BREAKDOWN AMONG STATES DOES VIRGINIA HAVE
00:05:35PLANS FOR THIS MONEY? GUEST: WELL, I WILL NOTE IN THE
00:05:39SETTLEMENT HALF OF THE MONEY IS TO BE USED FOR REMEDIATION TO
00:05:42HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND TACKLE THIS CRISIS.
00:05:45VIRGINIA IS READY AND ENGAGED. I CAN PAINT LAST YEAR AND
00:05:48KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFE AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR STEP FORWARD IN THIS EFFORT, AND WE
00:05:53LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH OUR POLICYMAKERS TO MAKE SURE THE
00:05:56MONEY IS DEPLOYED IN WAYS THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR CHILDREN.
00:05:59THIS IS A LANDMARK MOMENT FOR VIRGINIA, ONE OF THE LARGEST
00:06:02SETTLEMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COMMONWEALTH. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY TRUE FOR OTHER STATES AS WELL.
00:06:07THIS IS A MOMENT FOR US TO REALLY PUT OUR -- PUT OUR MONEY
00:06:11AND OUR DOLLARS BEHIND THE EFFORT
00:06:15THIS CASE HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS ONGOING AND NOW WE FINALLY HAVE
00:06:18AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS MONEY
00:06:21TO HELP UNPLUG OUR KIDS, PUT
00:06:27THEM IN PLACES THEY WILL NOT BE DRAWN IN BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND THIS IS TRULY HISTORIC.
00:06:30HOST: FRONT PAGE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES.
00:06:33META, AFTER BIDING ITS HANDS,
00:06:37ONCE ITS TRAVEL TO DO LIKEWISE. WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO THE OTHER BIG TECH COMPANIES?
00:06:41GUEST: WE WILL HOLD EVERYBODY ACCOUNTABLE.
00:06:45IF YOU DO HARM TO OUR KIDS, WE WILL COME AFTER YOU.
00:06:48THIS IS A JUMPING OFF POINT. IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
00:06:53IN VIRGINIA, WE HAVE DRAWN OUR LINE IN THE SAND. WE HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO THIS
00:06:57EFFORT SINCE 2021. WE CAN DEPLOY THE FUNDS WE GET
00:07:01FROM THIS SETTLEMENT TO MAKE SURE IT IS ENFORCED. WE CAN TAKE OUR RESOURCES AND GO
00:07:04AFTER OTHERS HARMING OUR CHILDREN.
00:07:09FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THESE ALGORITHMS AND THIS CONTENT.
00:07:13WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE HOLDING EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE.
00:07:17THIS WILL BE A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT
00:07:18IN FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM'S BUSINESS PRACTICES THAT WE LOOK
00:07:22FORWARD TO DOING THAT FOR OTHER COMPANIES.
00:07:23HOST: JAY JONES, SHOULD KIDS
00:07:27UNDER 16 BE BANNED FROM USING SOCIAL MEDIA?
00:07:29GUEST: THOSE ARE DECISIONS THAT
00:07:33WILL BE LEFT TO STATE POLICYMAKERS. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN VIRGINIA MORE LISTENERS.
00:07:40IN VIRGINIA, WE ARE COMMITTED TO
00:07:42MAKING SURE THAT OUR KIDS HAVE
00:07:47THE MOST SUPPORT POSSIBLE AND ARE NOT HARMED BY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ANYMORE.
00:07:50HOST: JAY JONES IS THE VIRGINIA
00:07:55STATE ATTORNEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GUEST: THANK YOU.
00:07:59I LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING TO YOU SOON. HOST: META RESPONDED TO THE
00:08:03SETTLEMENT CASE IN AN OPEN LETTER TO OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA
00:08:07COMPANIES, TIKTOK AND YOUTUBE,
00:08:10SAYING WANT TO MAKE SURE TEENS
00:08:14BENEFIT FROM THE STANDARD BUT WE CANNOT DO IT ALONE. IT WILL ONLY BE EFFECTIVE IF WE
00:08:17WORK WITH OUR PEERS, TIKTOK AND
00:08:21YOUTUBE TO PUT THE SEND MEASURES IN PLACE.
00:08:25ALL PLATFORMS SHOULD EMPOWER PARENTS AND SUPPORT TEENS IN THIS WAY.
00:08:29WE KNOW WHEN TEENS ARE
00:08:31RESTRICTED ON ONE APP, THEY SIMPLY MOVED TO ANOTHER.
00:08:35WE URGE OUR PEERS TO JOIN US.
00:08:40THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTING
00:08:40THIS MORNING THAT META AFTER BINDING HIS HANDS OF WANTS
00:08:44RIVALS TO DO LIKEWISE. THIS IS HOW THE SETTLEMENT WILL WORK.

00:08:52SETTLEMENT IS $12 BILLION. THE COMPANY HAS AGREED TO A
00:08:56TWO-HOUR DAILY TIME LIMIT TO CHILDREN.
00:08:58META WILL REDUCE STATUE TO ONE

00:09:07AND IF OTHER COMPANIES ALSO PAY
