Meta Platforms is working hard to limit what minors are able to see and experience in the Metaverse with virtual reality headsets. The company will allow parents to access the dashboard in the Oculus headset to monitor which apps have been installed, when a purchase is made, how much time is spent in the Metaverse, and who their friends are. Meta also upped its Instagram safety as it rolled out some supervisory settings where parents can monitor how much time is spent on the app and who the child is following or visiting on the site.
