Creating Safer Digital Spaces for Teens with Meta (Bonus Episode)

In this week’s bonus episode, Tay sits down with Antigone Davis, Meta’s Global Head of Safety, to talk about the company’s latest efforts to create safer online experiences for teens and families—including the introduction of Instagram Teen Accounts! Antigone shares how Meta is building digital spaces that automatically place teens in built-in protections and give parents greater peace of mind. This includes new parental supervision tools, age verification, and programs designed to help families feel more confident navigating life online. Whether you’re a parent, thinking about becoming a parent, or simply have a teen in your life, this episode is a must-listen.

Instagram Teen Accounts —now expanded to Facebook and Messenger—are designed to give parents peace of mind that their teens are safer with the right protections in place.
