Meta's launch of the Instagram Teen Account program aims to enhance safety for young users amid growing scrutiny over social media's impact on youth mental health.
The initiative raises questions about genuine effectiveness, as many features might be easily bypassed, possibly serving more as a public relations strategy.
Ongoing lawsuits allege that social media platforms, including Instagram, foster addiction and contribute to a youth mental health crisis.
With legislative efforts like the Kids Online Safety Act, there is increasing pressure for social media companies to implement stronger protections for young users.
