Meta wants you to break away from the blue light.
The company is seeking to patent a system for "encouraging time away from social media." The system implements what Meta calls a "social media network virtual assistant" to track in-app user activity and, essentially, nag users to get off their phone after they've been on it too long. Meta said if at least one "time" and "condition" are satisfied, such as it being a certain time a day, at least some part of the app will be rendered temporarily inoperable.
