As the head of Meta's safety policy work in North America, the author is committed to creating safer online experiences. Meta has introduced Teen Accounts, which come with built-in protections to limit who can contact teens and the content they see. The company has also developed supervision tools that empower parents to set time limits, see who their teen has messaged, and be notified if their teen searches for terms related to self-injury or suicide. Meta has collaborated with experts, including Childhelp, to create resources and awareness campaigns that help millions of students recognize exploitation. The company works with law enforcement to investigate and prosecute criminals who abuse children online and has shared more instances with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children than any of its peers. Meta's investigators proactively identify and disrupt criminal networks and refer them to law enforcement.
