No Instagram at night? What Meta's new teen safety deal proposes

Meta has agreed to new teen safety measures that could restrict Instagram and Facebook access for minors during night hours, including a midnight to 6 am block.
The proposed changes include a two-hour daily usage limit for teens across Instagram and Facebook, with parents able to approve longer usage.
Meta’s deal also focuses on stronger age verification, reduced exposure to harmful content and more parental controls for teenage accounts.
The safety changes come after US states accused Meta platforms of negatively affecting young users, leading to a major settlement and new platform restrictions.
