Meta, the company behind Instagram, has announced new steps to keep teenagers safe online. They are adding special features to protect them from bad content and scammers. Meta wants to make Instagram a secure place for young people.
One of the upcoming features will make certain messages with bad pictures less clear. This means if a picture is not suitable, it won’t show clearly to the teenagers. This protection will be on automatically for users under 18 years old. Meta also wants adults to use it to keep safe. They promise that private chats will stay private, even with these new safety features.
Meta is also working on ways to stop scams. They are creating technology to spot scammers and will warn users if they’re talking to one. This is part of Meta’s plan to keep harmful content away from teenagers.
These changes are important because some people have been worried about the safety of young users online. Meta is taking steps to make their platforms like Instagram and Facebook safer for everyone.
