Meta says its new teen safeguards on Facebook and Instagram are exclusively for US users; the changes will be closely watched by officials outside of the US (Bloomberg)

Meta announced that its new teen safety features on Facebook and Instagram will be applied exclusively to users in the United States, using “reliable age signals” supplied by Apple and Google’s operating systems and app stores. The rollout follows a settlement with 52 state and local attorneys general and is being closely monitored by regulators abroad, while competitors such as YouTube and TikTok have not yet confirmed similar measures.
