Meta has launched 'Teen Accounts' for Facebook and Messenger to protect users under 18 by restricting content and connections. Automatically enrolled, teens will only receive messages from known users, and their stories will be viewable only by friends. Notifications will prompt users to log off after an hour, and settings for those under 16 will require parental approval to adjust restrictions. This initiative follows similar safety measures on Instagram, aiming to address concerns about mental health and online safety for minors as scrutiny on social media companies increases.
