Snapchat Weighs Daily Teen Time Limits as Meta Sets 2-Hour Default Cap

Summary
Evan Spiegel said Snapchat is considering daily time limits for teen users, calling the idea a potential industry norm but giving no timeline for a rollout.
Meta's recent move set the benchmark: a default two-hour daily limit for teens, plus muted school-hour notifications and nighttime blocks across Facebook and Instagram.
That push followed lawsuits from 29 U.S. states over allegedly addictive platform designs and a broader settlement package that includes billions in payouts while Meta denies liability.
Snapchat's stance suggests pressure is spreading beyond Meta, with Spiegel saying the company wants to be part of the solution on youth safety.
