Meta is trang web xem phim 18cracking the door back open for minors interested in the company's virtual offerings, with new parent-approved entry to the platform's Horizon Worlds.
Children (or "preteens," as Meta refers to them) between the ages of 10 to 12 on parent-managed Meta accounts will be able to request access to specific virtual experiences, most of which are social hangout rooms. The age-appropriate designed "worlds" include areas like "The Space Station," a futuristic space where users don astronaut gear, and "The Aquarium," an underwater marine life adventure.

"And as we open up preteen access to worlds (with parental permission, of course), we’ll encourage creators to build even more age-appropriate and enriching experiences."
It's an expansion of new parent permissions granted last month, which allow parents and caregivers to add individual approved contacts to their preteens' accounts. Previously, Meta Horizon's social interactions, like chat and calls, were only available to accounts marked 13 and older.
The new update also includes age ratings for each world, designated as "10+, ages 13+, and ages 18+" and additional customizable settings for parents. Meta says the virtual spaces were co-designed with third parties as part of a new Trust, Transparency & Control Labs (TTC) report on the reintroduction of minors into digital experiences.
Originally part of Meta's larger Metaverse and Meta Quest offerings in the emerging world of VR, Horizon Worlds was later released to mobile and desktop users in 2023. A year prior, Meta overhauled its parental controls for VR Quest users after parents and watchdog groups called attention to increasingly inappropriate interactions, hate speech, and harassment toward minors.
Beyond the world of VR, Meta has been criticized for "pursuing" users under 13 despite concerns about mental wellbeing and safety, and is still wading through a complicated sea of lawsuits and federal investigations.
New Horizon Worlds access is predicated on additional safeguards meant to assuage these fears, including disabled voice chat, personal boundary features for avatars, and non-discoverability for preteen accounts.
