  "account": "Many US parents and teens feel Meta's new restrictions on their use of platforms like Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are a step in the right direction, but believe they fall short of addressing the potential dangers of social media. The restrictions include a daily two-hour time limit, hiding likes, removing autoplay on videos, muting notifications during school hours, and banning extreme filters. Parents also note the changes to age verification and parental controls. While some parents, like Elizabeth Cardner, feel the changes are helpful, others are skeptical, citing the ever-evolving nature of technology and the social pressures on children.",
  "summary": "As part of an $18bn settlement in a child-safety lawsuit, Meta announced new restrictions on its apps. We asked families what they thought.",
