“Prompted with the hashtag #preteen, Instagram was recommending posts tagged #preteenmodel and #preteenfeet, both of which featured sometimes graphic comments from what appeared to be adult male users on pictures featuring young girls.”https://t.co/HRclDZnNBp

As a dad to three, I know it’s important to create an Instagram experience for young people that’s safe and private but also fun.

Today we’re sharing updates, including defaulting young people under 16 into private accounts when they join Instagram.
We’re also making it harder for adults to contact teens who don’t want to hear from them, and limiting ways advertisers can reach young people on Instagram and Facebook.

"[Instagram] says it is also in 'really early conversations' exploring industrywide measures like having apps like Instagram verify ages through devices' operating systems [...] for example, if parents added a child's age to a phone or an iPad that had parental controls." https://t.co/8bnbTkK6ok

1. Defaulting young people into private accounts
2. Making it harder for potentially suspicious accounts to find young people
3. Limiting the options advertisers have to reach young people with ads https://t.co/uCzzsJOsWr
Facebook announces product changes to protect kids with a reporter. Reporter then finds related heinous stuff about kids that Facebook should have removed in the first place. Classic. https://t.co/dQfi78dXHQ

Instagram will steer teenagers toward private accounts and limit how ads are shown to them, amid rising concerns about social media’s effects on children’s mental health.
— Bowdeya Tweh (@BowKnowsBiz) July 27, 2021
The platform will make accounts private by default for anyone under the age of 18.

.@Facebook's decision to limit surveillance advertising to under-18s is a step in the right direction.

But this falls short of overhauling Facebook's core business of invasive surveillance to protect the human rights of everyone in the digital world. 1/4https://t.co/n6dnNHdeYh
Young people should be able to enjoy Instagram while staying safe.

That’s why we’re sharing updates, including defaulting young people into private accounts and making it harder for adults to find teens who don’t want to hear from them.
I’m excited to share how we’ve been thinking about building safe, age-appropriate experiences for young people across Facebook and Instagram. https://t.co/cL6A5Ue0mE

This work has been months, nay, years in the making, so there’s quite a bit in here... ?
These policy changes to protect kids on Instagram seem thoughtful.
— Shira Ovide (@ShiraOvide) July 27, 2021
And as usual with Facebook, let's see how the policy changes are implemented. https://t.co/6rSowNnhIL
THREAD: Facebook's made major changes to ad targeting for kids under 18, "previously available targeting options, like those based on interests...will no longer be available to advertisers."

TTP's Director called for this change in @ConsumerReports in Mayhttps://t.co/iT8qu5xPO2 https://t.co/6c6NwweuNl pic.twitter.com/p9JR7DGYEo
Instagram is making major changes for young people on its platform https://t.co/YvglnRidQa
— iMore (@iMore) July 27, 2021
Facebook will now only let advertisers target kids by age, gender & location. Will they also stop them tuning/optimising audiences? If not, then... is this change meaningful? I'm not sure it is a targeted ad model in the way we typically think anymore... https://t.co/0Vv9dwgWP3
