Meta has announced the rollout of Teen Accounts on Facebook and Messenger, which will automatically enroll users under 16 into a safer online experience. This initiative follows successful implementation on Instagram, aiming to enhance protections for young users amid rising mental health concerns. Teen Accounts will limit inappropriate content and unwanted interactions, requiring parental permission for certain settings. Features include restricted messaging, controlled visibility of stories, and usage reminders. Meta reports that 54 million teens are currently using these accounts, with strong parental support for the initiative.
