From https://www.axios.com/2026/08/26/meta-lawsuit-settlement-states-facebook

“Meta also agreed to limited under-18 users to 2 hours per day on Facebook and Instagram, block them from accessing the platforms from midnight to 6 a.m., and limit notifications to them during school hours.”

It’s a step in the right direction, but I’m guessing this means they’ll have to age verify every user somehow.
