Will the Meta settlement better protect children?

As part of a recent $18 billion settlement that Meta Platforms reached with 48 states, the company will strengthen its age estimates to keep individuals under 13 off its sites and keep older teens in age-appropriate accounts. It will also enact stronger duration limits for users under 18 and block children from the apps from midnight until 6 a.m., among other changes. Do you think these rules will protect youth from some of the dangers of social media?
