Meta agrees to U.S. minor protections: 2-hour daily limit, nightly lockout on Instagram/Facebook

Meta has agreed to implement new protections for minors in the U.S., including a two-hour daily usage limit and a nightly lockout on Instagram and Facebook. The measures, likely stemming from regulatory or legal pressure, add parental controls and mark a notable shift in platform policy. Details on enforcement and scope remain unclear, but the move signals increased regulatory influence over major tech platforms.
