Years of legal pressure on Meta over the impact of its social media platforms on children have resulted in a settlement that could cost the company up to $18 billion. According to the BBC, the agreement was reached with all US states and territories that had launched legal proceedings against the company, alleging that its platforms were designed to encourage prolonged use among young people. The lawsuits also linked social media use to depression, anxiety, body image issues and other negative effects on young people’s mental health, claims that Meta has denied.
The settlement, however, goes beyond financial obligations, as Meta will be required to introduce default daily usage limits for teenagers and restrict access to its platforms during nighttime hours. Some of the proceedings also focused on the handling of minors’ data, with 29 states alleging that the company had unlawfully collected and used children’s personal information. Legal pressure on the industry extends far beyond this case, with thousands of individuals and more than a thousand US school districts filing lawsuits against major social media companies over their platforms’ alleged impact on young users.
Other platforms, including TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat, are facing similar legal action, while US lawmakers are also considering stricter rules to protect minors online.
The Meta settlement could therefore set an important precedent for how technology platforms approach their youngest users, but one question remains: will the financial consequences and new obligations finally lead to meaningful changes in the way social media platforms are designed for children and teenagers?

A new acquisition in the US access control market brings Azure Access Technology and Apollo Security under dormakaba, as the group continues its expansion in North America. According to an analysis by Memoori, this is dormakaba’s 12th acquisition in the past 18 months and the first to significantly change its approach to selling access control solutions in the US. The move forms part of a broader strategy to increase the company’s North American revenue to CHF 1 billion by fiscal year 2027/28.
Founded in 2019 in Newport Beach, California, Azure Access develops electronic access control hardware for the US commercial market. Its open-architecture controller platform enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and software providers to flexibly integrate and customize their solutions. Apollo Security, which operates under ADME Inc. and is also based in Newport Beach, was founded in 2008 and manufactures access control and integrated security systems. Together, the two companies employ around 30 people and serve access control companies worldwide.
Although relatively small in scale, Memoori believes the acquisitions carry greater strategic significance by giving dormakaba more direct access to the US access control ecosystem and creating additional opportunities for growth. The deal therefore fits into the company’s accelerated M&A strategy in North America, where it still needs to close a revenue gap of approximately CHF 278 million to reach its CHF 1 billion target.

Modern security systems, LANs, IP surveillance, and industrial infrastructure are getting increasingly vulnerable to the effects of surges caused by lightning strikes, power grid interference, and potential differences. This is due to the miniaturization of electronic components; even a short surge can lead to device damage, system downtime, and costly repairs.
EWIMAR has specialized in the design and manufacture of surge arresters for CCTV, LAN, and industrial automation systems for 15 years. Our solutions are designed for installers and end users who expect not only high protection effectiveness but, above all, system stability.
Our products are designed to meet the PN-EN 61643-21 standard, allowing them to be used in LPZ 0/LPZ 1 zones and higher – those are defined by the EN-62305 standard.
Our product range includes surge arresters for CCTV (VSS) systems. It has been divided into three product series: ECO, PRO, and EXT, which allow for the optimal selection of protection levels for specific installations. The ECO series is designed for indoor applications with a lower risk level. The PRO series is a solution for professional outdoor installations requiring a higher level of surge immunity. It features two levels of surge suppression, along with protection against surges on PoE pairs, in any power supply standard. The protection level is 2.5kA (8/20 μs) per conductor. The EXT series, in addition to the components used in the PRO series, features an additional level of protection in the form of ultra-fast MOSFET fuses with automatic reset. The MOSFET fuse reduces surge voltage levels and extends the life of the surge arrester. The protection level is 2.5kA (8/20 μs) per conductor.
The core of our offer is single-channel protection in various housing variants. Depending on the intended use, they are available for mounting in camera boxes, on DIN rails, and in hermetic enclosures. To achieve full protection, the other side of the signal line must also be protected. For this purpose, we have designed 4-channel modules, which, together with a 1U housing for a 19″ rack, create an integrated multi-channel panel. This approach allows for flexible and optimal selection of the protection level to suit the installation’s needs.
Thanks to our solutions, installers can build a security system precisely according to the project’s needs – from single security elements to complex multi-port systems. Modules can be easily replaced, expanded, and serviced without having to disrupt the entire installation.
Solutions dedicated to various communication buses are also very popular in our product lineup. In addition to surge protectors for the RS-485 bus, customers are also gladly choosing PTZ protocol converters. These products enable the integration of legacy CCTV systems with modern devices.
See you at the Adria Security Summit at booth 139!
The Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP) has launched an ex officio investigation into the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute (HZMO) following reports of a possible cyberattack and the public disclosure of Croatian citizens’ personal data, according to ICTbusiness. The investigation was initiated after a group calling itself INF Group claimed to have obtained a database containing 105,000 records allegedly originating from HZMO systems. According to the attackers’ claims, the exposed information includes names, personal identification numbers (OIBs), phone numbers and email addresses.
However, the authenticity of the published database and its connection to HZMO’s information systems have not yet been officially confirmed, and the origin of the data can only be established through technical and forensic analysis. Following the initial reports, HZMO stated that it had no information confirming a security breach, while AZOP has so far not received a personal data breach notification from the Institute or any other authority. The investigation will seek to determine whether unauthorized access actually occurred, when HZMO may have become aware of the incident and whether its reporting obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) were triggered.
Under Article 33 of the GDPR, a data controller must notify the supervisory authority of a personal data breach within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, unless the breach is unlikely to pose a risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms.
If the reported data compromise is confirmed, the combination of exposed information could increase the risk of targeted phishing, vishing, identity theft and other forms of social engineering. If the breach is assessed as posing a high risk to affected individuals, the GDPR also requires them to be informed directly, subject to certain exceptions. Final conclusions regarding the potential data breach and any possible responsibility of HZMO will only be possible once the investigation and analysis of the collected information have been completed.
