Instagram has rolled out significant updates aimed at protecting teens, making accounts private by default, and limiting direct messages to enhance safety.
Many parents are worried that social media exposes their teens to harmful content such as cyberbullying, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts.
Despite changes aimed at improving safety, critics argue Instagram's updates shift responsibility onto parents and children rather than addressing the platform's inherent risks.
Teen accounts will now automatically be set to private, limiting visibility and interactions in a bid to provide better control for young users and their parents.
