The Impact of Teen Accounts on Safety and Privacy
Instagram is implementing features specifically designed to address safety concerns for teens online. These new teen accounts come with automatic protections, limiting who can contact them and filtering the content they can see. This initiative aims to provide peace of mind for parents while allowing teenagers the freedom to explore social media in a safer environment. These built-in limits not only protect teen users but also reinforce the platform's commitment to a responsible digital space for younger audiences.
