Instagram gives parents new tools to control their teens

The question that torments many parents is what do teenagers do during the long hours they spend on Instagram? The social network wants to help them better track these actions through parental control. On June 14, he announced the availability of new monitoring tools by the end of the month.

Specifically, parents (or guardians) will be able to apply for custody of their child’s account, but this one will be free to accept or reject. Once the monitoring right has been granted, the controller is free to set daily usage time limits. It can also prohibit the use of the social network during certain hours, such as at night or during classes. Parental control also allows you to get to know people who are with your teen, to know who they are subscribing to.

The parent will also receive a notification if their child has a known account, they will also know the cause of the alarm.

New features do not allow you to read private messages. Instagram:

“Toxic” network for young people

The social network still has restrictions on its tool. Parental control does not allow you to view liked or commented content as well as read private messages. In addition, one month before the user turns 18, the parent and child will be notified of the imminent termination of the function.

Within a few weeks, these tools, based in France, were already available in the United States. The issue of teen protection for Meta group’s subsidiary is very political today. Last October, Francis Haugen, a former member of the group, harshly criticized the group’s inaction in this regard.

Documenting it, he revealed that the Meta group knows that Instagram “poisonous for teenage girlsbut does nothing to solve the problem. Group leadership:choose profit instead of securityfrom its users, according to the advertiser.
