With growing concerns about online safety, cyberbullying, and digital wellbeing, Meta has reiterated its dedication to protecting young users.

Meta brought together parents, educators, creators, youth advocates, and industry stakeholders at the Youth Online Safety Summit to discuss how technology can help create safer, more positive online experiences for teens while easing the burden on busy parents by providing helpful tools to supervise their teens online.

During the event, Meta emphasized that safeguarding young people online requires a collaborative effort involving technology companies, parents, schools, governments, and the teens themselves.

“Meta wants to ease the burden on busy parents by providing helpful tools to supervise their teens online, while creating positive and protected online spaces where young people can connect with friends, learn and discover new opportunities,” said Sylvia Musalagani, Head of Safety Policy, Africa, Middle East and Turkey at Meta.
