Snapchat 'willing to implement' daily time limits for teens, boss tells BBC
Evan Speigel says it would be "an important step forward for the industry" in an interview with the BBC.
Snapchat's CEO Evan Spiegel told the BBC that his company is open to implementing daily time limits for teenage users if other major social media platforms take similar action. Spiegel made the comments in an interview at the company's California headquarters, where Snapchat's parent company Snap Inc. unveiled new features for its upcoming Specs smart glasses.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has been pushing for other social media companies to join it in implementing these time limits as part of a recent legal settlement. The proposed limits, which would restrict teens to two hours of daily use across all Meta platforms, are seen by Spiegel as an important step forward in establishing industry norms for user safety.
