Join Marisol Nichols in a conversation with Nicole Lopez, Meta's Global Director of Youth Safety Policy, as they explore latest solutions to enhance youth safety online. Nicole shares insights into Instagram's innovative "Teen Accounts," which include automatic parental controls like private accounts, messaging restrictions, “Hidden Words" to block harmful content, and sleep mode to limit screen time. These changes, rolled out globally in September 2024, aim to provide a safer online experience for young users. The discussion also dives into a proposed app store legislation requiring parental consent for individuals under 16 to download apps, ensuring parents stay in control without the hassle of managing each app individually. While some states face challenges in passing these bills, momentum is building nationwide. Nicole also highlights Meta's broader efforts, including combating sextortion and offering helpful tools like the Family Center to support parents and teens.
