There was a previous thread that they were lowering the age so they can get more users, likely out of desperation and to pad the numbers, but Congress is concerned that like on their other platformers, minors will run into trouble and want him to stop the rollout of removing the age barrier for teens 13 to 17. The safety bubble chamber feature will not be enough.
Of course this may be pointless since as per the recent leak, Zucker is about to give up on VR metaverse, and will place Horizon Worlds on the web as well, accessible from phones, tablets and PC's, so those teens, and younger children, and are going to end up getting into Horizon Worlds anyway, which will cause a PR disaster for Zucker once again.
The likely reason imo, he's not killing and/or replacing Horizon Worlds is that apparently they spend a lot of money on it, supposedly millions, and probably want to try and do something with it to not add to their losses. In one year VR alone (2022) cost Facebook almost $14 billion in losses, so who knows for the last 4-5 years.
I expect more negative attention now that the senators are coming after Horizon Worlds too. Then again I'm not sure of Horizon will even attract any Teens when they see the quality,
Maybe the senators have nothing to worry about after all. Ugh.
