In a blog post<\/a>, the tech giant says that there\u2019s \u201ca vast array of engaging and educational apps, games, and more\u201d for the kiddos, even if the jury is still out on whether it\u2019s healthy or not. Just in time for Roblox!<\/a><\/p>\n The new parent-managed Meta accounts will require mom or dad\u2019s approval to begin with, and parents will be able to control which apps preteens use and set time limits. If you want to take part, most of the info you\u2019ll need will be available in the \u201cfamily center\u201d part of your account<\/a>.<\/p>\n Regarding data collection, the company says \u201cWe will use information we collect about 10-, 11-, and 12-year-olds through our Meta Quest products to deliver an age-appropriate experience. We do not serve ads to this age group. Parents will also be able to choose whether their child\u2019s data is used to improve the experience, and they will be able to delete their child\u2019s account, including all of the data associated with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Hopefully they actually delete it when you ask, unlike some huge tech companies that save kids\u2019 data<\/a>. The FTC is watching.<\/p>\n It\u2019s up to every parent to make the choice of whether VR is appropriate for their kid, of course. And when I say the jury\u2019s out, it really is that there just aren\u2019t enough independent studies of kids using modern headsets.<\/p>\n
\nMeta says it\u2019s totally fine for 10-year-olds to wear its VR headset, probably<\/br>
