Meta's new tools allow parents to better supervise their kids' social media accounts. Will they work?

Meta announced new parental oversight features across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Horizon, aimed at giving parents greater control over how children use its platforms. The update is a modest positive for trust, safety and compliance positioning, but it is primarily a product and policy enhancement rather than a material financial catalyst. Near-term market impact should be limited.
