Meta sets daily time limits for teens, empowering parents with control.
Meta's new settlement with states brings a practical shift: teens will face a daily two-hour app limit unless parents step in. That's a meaningful concession, and it signals a more accountable approach to younger users. The move feels overdue, but it's a solid step toward healthier boundaries. For more on how Meta is adjusting its policies, our piece on the reversal of ads for the Musk documentary offers useful context.

It's a practical step toward easing the anxiety that comes with letting younger users navigate social spaces. We've seen Meta make headlines recently with its reversal on ads for the Musk documentary, but this move feels more grounded. It's about giving families control, not just courting headlines.
