Meta's Quest headsets now available for children as young as 10.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, plans to lower the minimum age for its virtual reality headsets from 13 to 10 years old, despite pressure from lawmakers not to market its VR services to younger users. Preteens will be required to get a parent’s approval to set up an account and download apps onto the device, and parents will be able to set time limits and enforce breaks for their preteens on the headsets. Meta said it will not serve ads to users in this age group, and that parents can choose whether their child’s data can be used to improve the company’s services.
