Meta has developed a new educational curriculum to assist middle school students in recognizing and avoiding online exploitation, specifically focusing on sextortion. Designed in partnership with Childhelp and experts like the Department of Homeland Security, the curriculum includes videos and interactive activities aimed at empowering youths to navigate personal boundaries and ask for help. Meta aims to combat the rise of sextortion practices on its platforms, following previous incidents where thousands of accounts were removed for scamming users. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to enhancing child safety online.
"With the increase in online dangers, this partnership will allow facilitators of the lessons to empower millions of young people to speak up and be comfortable in asking for help."
"The content offers videos, scripted lesson plans, and interactive classroom activities. The goal is to help young people learn about personal boundaries, safe relationships, and how to ask for help."
