Kids In Montana Can Now Chat On Meta Through Virtual Reality

My wife and I don't have any kids, so I don't have a ton of skin in the game regarding this recent development with Facebook's parent Meta and its new virtual reality chat abilities.

Long story short, parents can now add contacts to their children's virtual reality accounts, allowing them to chat through virtual reality on Facebook.

This new chat program through virtual reality is designed for children between the ages of 10 and 12.

I don't know about you, but that seems slightly concerning.

This will allow their children to chat, call, and send invites through virtual reality experiences.

Parental Control On Meta Accounts

The good news is that, according to Facebook, parents still have some control over this new chat feature.

Supposedly, parent-managed features through Meta accounts will allow guardians to limit their children's access to this new virtual reality program.

Parents must approve their child's contacts before communication through virtual reality can begin.

Much of this seems like gibberish, and I can't wrap my head around it.

All I know is that as kids, if we wanted to do something, we would find a way to make it happen.

I'm not convinced that all these parental features will greatly impact what kids can do on the Facebook virtual reality program.

How Meta Parental Measures Work

• First of all, you have to set up a parent-managed account.
• From there, you can approve contacts through your child's account.
• Parents can search and add users from the following or followers list.
• Once approved, a call, chat, or multiplayer invite can be sent and received.
• Parents will have the ability to delete or approve contacts anytime.
