MODERATORS
 

Meta's has been listening to some concerns after all especially now after some pressure.

These changes very well could help parents moderate their teens. Meta's head of product says these changes address particular 3 concerns in an Npr interview.

Will this be the end of the complaints and concerns geared towards Instagram, probably not.

the weirder thing is teens using their real identity online at all.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Agree, I never used my real name anywhere.

They have an account their parents can see and private accounts

The point of Insta would seem to be the opposite of that. To splatter your inane life before the world in the hopes of becoming a viral millionaire influencer.

Not really, teenagers naturally want to socialize. It's pretty normal. Is it the best thing? no.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, Some of us only care about IRL friend circle.

Some might have different tastes, but teenagers in a larger scale tend to not care about rules and will break them if they feel they're restricted. Depending on what it is, this could be things such as, getting out to some dance, or using social media without parental consent and faking age.
