Meta reached a $16.7 billion settlement with a coalition of state attorneys general who accused the company of misrepresenting the mental health risks its platforms pose to children. A court approved the deal Wednesday afternoon, which requires Meta to add daily usage limits, nighttime blocks for teens, and new parental oversight tools. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who co-led the case, said the agreement is 'a floor conceptually, not a ceiling' and does not shield Meta from further legal action.

Canada confirmed a new round of tariffs matching Washington's 50% duties, covering more than 700 American products worth roughly $20 billion, set to take effect September 8. The move follows the collapse of trade talks last week, with both governments blaming each other for last-minute demands. Ottawa specifically doubled its tariff on U.S. steel and aluminum to 50% in direct response to similar U.S. levies.

Nvidia reports fiscal second-quarter results Wednesday, with investors closely watching how much of its revenue still comes from a handful of hyperscale cloud giants versus a broader base of AI cloud, industrial and enterprise customers. The company recently began splitting its reporting into hyperscaler revenue and a separate category it calls ACIE, covering thousands of other buyers. CEO Jensen Huang has acknowledged that hyperscalers remain the easiest customers to sell to because there are only a handful of them, compared with roughly 250,000 other companies in the broader market.
