Parents will now be able to keep an eye on teenagers using Instagram in India. Meta, the company that operates internet media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, announced on Tuesday that Meta's 'Instagram Teen Accounts' feature will be launched in India as well.
The feature is specially designed for teenagers.
This feature is specially designed for teenagers. This will prevent problems like harmful content and unwanted messaging. Teen accounts will automatically be in high-security settings. In this, along with increasing the privacy settings, more monitoring of parents can be ensured. They will be able to keep an eye on their children's accounts.
Meta said that it is also tightening the age verification methods. Given the apprehension that some users may misrepresent their age, additional verification will be required if the wrong age is given. This announcement has been made amid concerns about the ill effects of internet media on teenagers.
Proposal to make parental consent mandatory
Last month, the Government of India released the draft of Digital Personal Data Protection Rules. It proposes to make parental consent mandatory for minor users to create accounts online or on internet media platforms.
Meta said in a statement, "We are expanding Instagram Teen accounts in India to ensure safety for teenagers and address their parents' concerns about harmful content. Teens are automatically placed in the highest security settings, which include ways to prevent misrepresentation of age and sensitive content restrictions."
Parental permission will be required to change settings.
Parental permission will be required to change settings. Under this, parents can approve changes for teenagers under the age of 16, monitor recently added contacts. Can set limits on screen time. Can prevent the use of the app for a certain time.
Instagram Teen Account is an attempt to address the major concerns of parents with whom their children communicate online. What type of content they are exposed to, and how do they manage their time on the internet platform? All new users under the age of 16 will have their Instagram accounts set to private by default. That is, no one will be able to follow and view content without permission.
Teen accounts will be put on strict safety mode.
Teen accounts will be put on strict safety mode so that violent content does not appear in the reels. Additionally, hidden words will be on by default so that offensive language can be filtered out. Teens will get a notification to exit the app after using the app for 60 minutes per day. Sleep mode will be active from 10 pm to 7 am, which will mute notifications.
