Apple enhances parental controls amid regulatory scrutiny

Apple unveiled new parental controls at WWDC, aiming to help parents manage children's online activity and screen time. These features include enhanced customization for screen time limits and the ability to filter violent content in messages. While presented as a tool for child safety, the move also appears strategic, potentially preempting regulatory pressures and positioning Apple against app developers like Meta. The company emphasized its commitment to trust and safety through these expanded child account features, reflecting a broader industry trend towards greater platform responsibility.
