This is a step but a huge one indeed!

BREAKING: A landmark win for kids' online safety 📱

Meta just reached a settlement with 47 states, D.C., and U.S. territories over claims it knowingly built addictive platforms for kids — agreeing to pay up to $17.1 billion in penalties and overhaul how teens use Instagram and Facebook.

What's changing for teen accounts:
→ 2-hour daily time limit across FB + Instagram (parent permission required to lift it)
→ No access midnight–6am; notifications silenced 10pm–7am
→ Likes hidden by default
→ "Extreme" beauty filters blocked
→ Option for a non-algorithmic feed + autoplay off
→ Stronger age verification + new parental controls

D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb called it "a monumental public health victory for young people" — and noted Meta won't be the last platform to settle.

The deal still needs a judge's sign-off, but the message is clear: the tide is turning on Big Tech's grip on kids' attention.

This is why Wait Until 8th exists: to give kids a childhood before the algorithm gets a vote. The wind is finally at our backs!

We are so excited to welcome Madaline Wright, LMHC to our group! She will be welcoming new clients at our downtown location in Oldest City Arts & Wellness Lounge | St. Augustine Madaline works with tweens, adults, veterans, and military families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic physical illness. Drawing on CBT and DBT, she supports both emotional and physical well-being through a trauma-informed lens that helps clients identify the patterns holding them back from their goals. Her clients often carry the weight of “I know I should be able to handle this, but I feel overwhelmed” and she meets them there, without judgment, to build practical tools toward feeling grounded and in control again.

Background

Madaline holds a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and brings a background shaped by growing up in a service family, serving herself, and working across hospitals, including Level 1 trauma settings, through the height of COVID. That combination gives her a firsthand understanding of what it means to carry chronic stress, physical illness, and the particular pressures of military and first-responder life not just clinically, but personally. She creates a space that feels genuinely safe for those who protect and care for others, because she’s stood in those rooms herself.

Outside the Practice

When she’s not in session, Madaline is usually near the water, walking with her dogs, or watching the sunset settle over the ocean. She’s endlessly curious about biomedical research and wellness science, and she finds her own grounding in small glimmer moments: the quiet, easy-to-miss instances of calm and connection that remind her why the work matters.
