"Meta Implements Enhanced Safety Measures for Teen Users on Facebook and Instagram"

TL;DR Summary
Instagram and Facebook, owned by Meta, have announced new limits on sensitive content for teen users, aiming to reduce potentially harmful material. The move comes ahead of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Senate testimony on online safety concerns. Critics argue that Meta's efforts are too little, too late, and that the company has a history of opposing safety regulations. While some welcome the changes, others question the effectiveness of the measures and call for greater transparency from Meta, including releasing algorithms and internal research for public audit.
