Kids under 16 will no longer be allowed to livestream on Instagram without parental consent

Instagram users under 16 wont be able to livestream or unblur nudity in direct messages theyve received without parental approval, owner Meta Platforms said Tuesday as it widened its safety measures for teenagers.

The social media company also said it was extending safeguards for users under 18 to Facebook and Messenger.

Meta launched its teen account program for Instagram in September to give parents more options to supervise their childrens online activity amid a growing backlash against how social media affects the lives of young people.
