  "account": "Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel has indicated the company is open to introducing daily usage limits for teenage users, according to an interview with the BBC. The proposal follows a request from Meta for increased industry action. Speaking at the company's California headquarters, Spiegel acknowledged the potential benefits of setting a maximum time limit for younger users. This comes as the firm unveiled new features for its upcoming Specs glasses, which could connect to Apple iPhone and Mac devices. Meta has been urging other social media platforms to adopt similar measures as part of a legal settlement, which includes a default two-hour daily limit for teen users across its platforms. The settlement also mandates muted notifications during school hours, nighttime restrictions, and other measures. Spiegel emphasized the importance of establishing industry standards, stating that it could prove beneficial overall. Snap Inc. is currently developing the Specs glasses, which are priced at $2,195 in the US and £1,995 in the UK, targeting early adopters, developers, and enterprise users.",
