New Instagram Teen Accounts for Enhanced Safety

Instagram has introduced teen accounts aimed at improving safety for younger users. These accounts come with automatic protections that limit who can contact teens and restrict the content they can view, promoting a safer online environment. Analogous to ensuring children wear seatbelts or protective gear while biking, these measures are designed to safeguard teens as they navigate social media.
