Facebook has been accused of failing to tackle serious risks to children while introducing tools to help people limit their time on the site.
The company said it would present graphs to show users how long they were spending on the network and add optional alerts to warn them when they go over self-imposed time limits. Users can also mute notifications. Similar tools are being added to Instagram, which is owned by Facebook. Steve Hatch, Facebook director for UK and Ireland, said: “We feel a responsibility to help ensure that time on Facebook is time well spent.”
• Facebook has stopped “hundreds of thousands” of apps from accessing user data after developers failed to resubmit them for review following the Cambridge Analytica scandal. It is understood that many were defunct.
