Meta has agreed to put new guardrails on teenagers’ use of its apps, in a decision that could fundamentally change the social media experience for young people in the US.(Meta 已同意为青少年使用其应用设置新防护措施，这一决定可能从根本上改变美国年轻人的社交媒体体验。)
Meta 已同意为青少年使用其应用程序设置新的防护措施，这一决定可能会从根本上改变美国年轻人的社交媒体体验。
In a turnaround(转变；好转), the social media giant will make several safety limitations the default option for young users, instead of requiring them to opt in(选择加入).
这一转变中，这家社交媒体巨头将把多项安全限制设为年轻用户的默认选项，而非要求他们主动选择加入。
The changes came as part of a settlement(和解协议) in a major trial in California, which also requires the social media company to pay up to $17bn to the states that filed suit. Meta also agreed to pay $1bn to the state of Texas, which wasn’t part of the lawsuit. The agreement represents the first time that Meta has been forced to change key features of the experience of everyday users on its home turf.(该协议标志着 Meta 首次被迫改变其本土市场日常用户体验的关键功能。)
这些变化是加州一场重大诉讼和解协议的一部分，该协议还要求这家社交媒体公司向提起诉讼的各州支付高达170亿美元。Meta 还同意向未参与诉讼的得克萨斯州支付10亿美元。该协议标志着 Meta 首次被迫在其本土市场上改变日常用户体验的关键功能。
