00:02Meta is expanding content settings for teen accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger globally
00:08to ensure age-appropriate experiences, according to Reuters.
00:12The initiative, first launched in select countries last October,
00:16filters out content deemed inappropriate for teens.
00:19Meta set the 13-plus content settings as the default for all teen accounts.
00:24A limited content setting offering a more restrictive experience
00:28will be added to Facebook and Messenger later this year.
00:32Instagram is also testing a feature to limit teens from seeing excessive amounts of certain content types
00:37and to promote a more balanced feed.
00:40In April, Meta warned investors that legal and regulatory blowback over youth social media issues
00:45could impact its business and financial results.
00:48Meta acknowledged that certain content can be helpful for teens,
00:52but said it should be varied rather than shown repeatedly.
