New Instagram "Teen Accounts"
I recently came across this article about Instagram rolling out new protections for teens, and I wanted to share it with you all. As a parent, I'm always concerned about my child's online safety, and it seems like Instagram is finally taking some steps to address these concerns. ... The article discusses how Instagram is introducing features like age verification tools and limiting interactions between teens and adults they don't follow. They're also making changes to default settings for new teen accounts to increase privacy. It's good to see social media platforms acknowledging the need for safer spaces for our kids, but I still wonder how effective these measures will be. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think these new protections will make a difference?A warm welcome to our newest community members!
