Instagram adds new protections for accounts that primarily feature children
The update will impact the accounts of family vloggers/creators and parents running accounts for "kidfluencers," both of which have faced criticism for the risks associated with sharing children's lives on social media.
Meta is introducing additional safeguards for Instagram accounts run by adults that primarily feature children, the company announced on Wednesday. Meta says it will attempt to prevent potentially suspicious adults, such as people who have already been blocked by teens, from finding accounts that primarily feature children. “These new features complement the safety notices we show to remind people to be cautious in private messages and to block and report anything that makes them uncomfortable – and we’re encouraged to see teens responding to them,” Meta wrote in the blog post.
