Meta adds restrictions on harmful content for teen users of Facebook, Instagram

Meta Platforms (META) will start hiding certain types of harmful content from teenaged users of its Instagram and Facebook platforms, as well as restricting certain search terms on Instagram.

The social-media giant has faced pressure for years over which content is exposed to its teen audience.

Now teens will automatically be placed in the most restrictive content control settings on both apps, even if they've been on the platforms for some time.

On Instagram, searches for terms tied to suicide, self-harm and eating disorders won't produce related results for teen users, but will instead direct them to expert resources for help.

Such search restriction will happen even if the stories are shared by someone the user follows. The changes follow similar restrictions Meta had put in place on Reels and Explore.

The company is also increasing prompts encouraging teen users to update privacy settings.
