Meta imposes 2-hour daily limit, nighttime block on US under-18s after $18bn settlement

Aug 27, 2026

The ITV News segment reports on Meta's landmark $17-18 billion settlement with nearly all US states resolving claims its platforms harm children. It details default restrictions for US users under 18: a 2-hour daily usage limit (messaging excluded), midnight-to-6am access block, hidden likes, and muted notifications during school hours, with only parents able to override; Meta aims to implement within six months and urges rivals to follow. The report states UK ministers expect Meta to extend these features to Britain, but the UK's separate plan to ban under-16s from social media will proceed early next year (now 2027 per government announcements), suggesting the US case may lead to more, not fewer, UK restrictions. Sourcing relies on the recent settlement announcement and unnamed UK ministers; no guests or on-camera experts appear. Graphics are not referenced. The throughline is that US legal pressure is accelerating global child-safety changes, with the UK positioned to benefit while maintaining its stricter ban approach.

ITV News highlights neurodivergent barriers as Milburn reviews youth NEET crisis

Aug 12, 2026

The ITV News segment examines whether neurodivergent people, particularly those with autism or ADHD, receive sufficient support to enter employment. It features interviews with neurodivergent young people who describe barriers like lack of understanding from employers, the need for reasonable adjustments, and difficulties accessing immediate support. Former minister Alan Milburn, leading a government review of youth unemployment, is shown meeting employed neurodivergent individuals and emphasizing their talent, aspiration, and positive workforce impact. The piece notes that of roughly one million young people who are NEET, tens of thousands cite conditions like autism or ADHD, and ends by asking what government should do ahead of Milburn's recommendations due next month. Sourcing relies on on-camera interviews with affected individuals, Milburn, and an unnamed expert or advocate advocating for employer training. No specific graphics or named official statistics are displayed in the clip, though claims align with broader ONS and DWP data on disability and NEET trends. The throughline is that neurodivergent people want to and can work effectively with modest accommodations, tying into Milburn's review focused on health-related inactivity.
