Intrigued to see Facebook following Apple and Google's footsteps[0] in deploying a tool for its users to keep track of their application/website usage time.

Wonder how much of an impact this tool will have in bringing more internet-IRL balance to millions glued to their screen, given that this move is a complete 180º from Facebook core business model.

yes, you are right. This data is formidable. https://medium.com/swlh/introducing-time-on-site-analytics-f... Look at the post images(time metrics) by various measures, I wrote about time-on-site metrics on just 100K records in Mysql DB. The results were curious and compelling. Imagine what if we apply this solution over 10M, 100M, 1B or more records. It's definitely worth finding analytics and usage patterns.
