Meta will lower the Quest headset's recommended age from 13 to 10
the age for Quest 2 and 3 accounts from 13 to 10 later this year by introducing parent-controlled accounts. Kids will need their parents' approval to set up accounts, download apps and block access to already-present software. Those adults can set time limits.
The company says it's implementing strict privacy controls. Meta will provide"age-appropriate" app store experiences like recommendations if parents volunteer their child's age. It won't serve ads to kids, however, and parents will have the choice of whether or not data is used to refine the experience. These younger users' Meta Horizon profiles are private by default and will require approval for follows and active status updates.
Meta portrays this as a boon for education. This could give kids virtual science lessons and a raft of educational games, the company says. Most educational titles on the store are rated for ages 10 and older, so there shouldn't be a shortage of material. Whether or not there's a trouble-free launch is another matter. Meta's policies theoretically comply with COPPA , which bars collecting personal data from kids under 13 without parental consent.
