Meta is launching the Digital Dialogue IRL, a free interactive experience designed to help teens, parents, educators, and community stakeholders have practical conversations about online safety, social media habits, and digital wellbeing.
Open to the public at Temasek Shophouse from 25 June to 31 July 2026, Digital Dialogue IRL uses visual conversation cards, guided prompts and interactive touch points to bring everyday digital scenarios to life — including screen time, social comparison, feed control, peer pressure, cyberbullying, and healthy online-offline boundaries.
The experience is designed to educate parents and teens about the safety features already built into Teen Accounts across Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger.
Teen Accounts have default protections in place – settings inspired by 13+ movie ratings and parent feedback, introduced earlier this year. This means teens will see content similar to what they’d see in an age-appropriate movie, and they won’t be able to opt-out without a parent’s permission.
Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information and Ministry of Health, Rahayu Mahzam said: “Keeping young people safe online is not something any one party can do alone. It requires government, industry, schools, and families working together. What I find encouraging about initiatives like Digital Dialogue IRL is that they help young people develop their own judgement through honest conversations with the trusted adults in their lives. This is the kind of collaboration we need as we build a safer, more discerning digital society.”
