Meta's Teen Instagram Restrictions in US Not Yet Announced for India
Meta has agreed to restrict Instagram and Facebook use for teenagers in several US states, including a default lockout from midnight to 6 a.m., daily usage caps, muted notifications during school hours, and enhanced parental controls. These measures stem from a settlement addressing concerns about addictive features and data collection. While Indian users have some controls like sleep mode and screen-time limits, Meta has not announced similar restrictions for India yet, leaving the possibility uncertain.
