Proposals for curbing social media use among children have wide support, but critics say they are ineffective.

Meta negotiated an unusual provision in their landmark settlement: If TikTok and YouTube also agree to penalties and changes to their products, Meta will pay more.

The government retaliated against the A.I. start-up "for constitutionally protected expressive activities," a federal judge in California wrote.

Our reporter Cecilia Kang explains Meta's settlement of a lawsuit claiming that the company's social media platforms had harmed teenage users.

In an open letter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others said that a wave of A.I.-enabled cyberattacks was coming and that organizations and governments needed to prepare themselves.

In "The Anxious Generation," the sociologist laid out the evils of social media for kids. The landmark Meta settlement seems to agree.

The social networking giant projected it could spend $10 billion annually on Anthropic's tools, illustrating the friend-foe relationships underlying the A.I. race.

Legislatures in nearly a dozen states have voted to legalize use of the technology, which can help homeowners reduce their rising electricity costs.

Meta, the social media giant, agreed to change the way children interact with its apps. That could be trouble if its competitors don't abide by the same rules.

A legal dispute over the future of Kalshi, Polymarket and others has drawn in the Trump administration, the president's son and nearly every state attorney general.
