Why do social media apps help people moderate their screen time?

237 views

I doubt Instagram and YouTube are adding these “screen time analytics” and TikTok is making ads that encourage you to take a break from the app out of the kindness of their hearts and genuine concern for our wellbeing…. right? Is this a result of some kind of law, mandating that these kinds of features have to exist? Or does this actually help their business somehow?
