Meta wants to teach kids how to spot predators online
Briefly

Meta has collaborated with Childhelp to develop a curriculum aimed at educating middle school students on recognizing online exploitation, such as sextortion and grooming. This fully funded initiative offers free lesson plans, interactive activities, and videos, made in consultation with child safety experts. The move is part of Meta's broader commitment to enhance the safety of their platforms as legislative scrutiny increases. Efforts such as private accounts for teens and new features against sextortion scams highlight Meta's proactive measures in ensuring a safer online environment for children.
At Meta, we continue to do all we can to protect young people on our apps. Those protections will be even more effective if teens also feel confident in spotting potential harms and know where to go for help.
The curriculum consists of lesson plans, interactive classroom activities, and videos to help kids navigate both the online and offline world safely.
