In newly signed legislation in Virginia, social media companies are required to restrict use to only one hour per day for kids younger than 16 years old.

On one hand, great, kids need less social media. We're seeing how absolutely toxic it is. On the other, this shouldn't be the states call to make.

dystopian or victorian?

There is little actual evidence this will help kids, it is just a punishment to kids to make adults feel better.
