Meta makes content safer for teens on Facebook and Instagram
Meta is taking significant steps to safeguard the online experience of teenagers on Facebook and Instagram. The latest update involves filtering out sensitive and age-inappropriate content from teens’ feeds and Stories, building on existing measures against topics like self-harm and eating disorders. This move marks a shift towards more responsible content distribution and has implications for how brands connect with younger audiences. It’s a call for marketers to refine their strategies, ensuring content not only complies with Meta’s safety standards but also resonates ethically with a younger, more impressionable demographic.
