This is a settlement between Meta and 48 states. Individuals can still sue them for harm, and one notable case had them pay 4.2 million. There are hundreds of thousands of claims pending. The federal government still has the ability to sue or fine Meta as well.

Ok so if most individuals that care sue them it will become a.. $17B fine. Doesn't sound that impressive either.
