Meta adds new teen safety features | BBC News


Meta Platforms said on Tuesday it would add more protections to the kind of content teens can see on Instagram and Facebook, after regulators around the globe pressed the social media firm to limit potentially harmful content.

The company will start placing all teens into the most restrictive content control settings on Instagram and Facebook.

The platforms will also restrict additional search terms on the photo-sharing app, including content restrictions and hiding search results for terms related to self-harm and suicide, it said in a blogpost.

Meta’s announcement comes on the heels of elevated criticisms over its potential impact on teen users.
