Meta has added new parental supervision tools to Facebook and Instagram as the company faces continued scrutiny over how social media platforms affect the health and safety of children.
Through Facebook's Messenger, parents will gain more insight on their children's messaging habits, but they won't be able to read their messages. Parents can view how much time their teen spends on Messenger, their teen's contact list, and if their teen reports anyone.
"Today's updates were designed to help teens feel in control of their online experiences and help parents feel equipped to support their teens," Meta said in a statement.Meta is working on a similar initiative for Instagram. If a teen chooses to block someone, a new message will appear encouraging them to add a parent to supervise their account as an added layer of support.
