The WSJ reports: "As part of the settlement agreement, Meta will also make sweeping changes to its services, Facebook and Instagram, including implementing a default two-hour time limit on its apps for users under 18."

The question is of course if these limits are enforced and if they are shared across other services.

So nice of them to let kids lose their minds 2 hours at the time.

Two hours is one hour too long if you ask me.

This should be implemented also for adults.

And non-avoidable.

Would've been cool if they had actual improvements like the timeline only shows people posts from their friends

So nice of them to let kids lose their minds 2 hours per FB and 2 hours per IG each day.

Probably default setting that can be changed by the under aged user. And probably per app or even per account.
