Meta and its Facebook and Instagram platforms have agreed to a massive settlement over claims that social media harmed kids — including new restrictions aimed at limiting teens’ screen time. Michael Smerconish thinks the changes are a good step. But they raise a much bigger question: Could adults live by the same rules? Two hours a day. Apps dark after midnight. Notifications silenced during the day. And all of it against a backdrop in which Americans are spending less and less time face-to-face with one another. Maybe the problem isn’t only what social media is doing to kids. Maybe it’s what it has done to all of us. Could you live under the same restrictions being placed on teenagers?
