Keeping young people safe online is a priority we all share — and it takes all of us working together. 🤝

We brought together Malaysian media, creators, civil society organizations, government representatives, youth and parent voices in Kuala Lumpur for our Screen Smart program, where we shared the latest updates to Instagram Teen Accounts — now with built-in protections inspired by 13+ content ratings, turned on by default for teens in Malaysia.

Here's what's new:

🔒 Age-appropriate by default — Teens will now see content similar to what they'd see in an age-appropriate movie, without needing to change a single setting.

👨‍👩‍👧 Limited Content for parents — A new, stricter option that gives families even more control, including filtered content, blocked search terms, and restricted comments.

🛡️ Expanded protections — Teens won't be able to follow or interact with accounts sharing inappropriate content, and restricted content is blocked across Explore, Feed, Stories, comments and DMs.

These updates build on our ongoing commitment to Malaysia — from training over 5,500 MSMEs in digital skills, to reaching over 13 million Malaysians through our safety and anti-scams programs with partners like Ratio:Cause, CelcomDigi, Ton Ton and the Content Forum.

Because building a safer internet for young Malaysians isn't something any one organization can do alone. It takes families, educators, government, and industry — together. 🇲🇾

🇲🇾 Keeping Malaysian Teens Safe Online: A Conversation with Parents, Youth & Experts

Last week, we brought together parents, educators, youth leaders, and policymakers in Kuala Lumpur for our Screen Smart Malaysia event — an important conversation about how we can work together to create safer online experiences for young people.

What We Shared About Teen Accounts

Now available in Malaysia across Instagram, Facebook & Messenger:

✅ Private by default — only approved followers can see content
✅ Messaging restrictions — only people teens follow can DM them
✅ Time management — daily reminders & Sleep Mode (10PM-7AM)
✅ Parental Supervision — set limits, see connections, get notifications
✅ Teens under 16 need parental permission to change these settings

We also hosted an interactive session using conversation cards designed to help families talk openly about life online with Aishah Jennifer Sinclair.

Easy Tips to Help Your Teen Stay Safe Online

TIP 4: Keep the conversation going.

The safety talk you have at 13 won't cover what they need at 16.

Their world evolves—and your conversations should too.

If you want support, the Family Center Education Hub at familycenter.meta.com offers resources from experts to help you navigate these conversations.

Sometimes we all need a reminder that we're not in this alone.

TIP 3: Safety features are already built in.

When your teen uses Instagram, Facebook, or Messenger, they're automatically placed into Teen Accounts with protections on by default:

→ Strangers can't message them
→ Only friends can tag them
→ Age-inappropriate content is automatically filtered
→ Suspicious images in DMs are blurred

For teens under 16, a supervising parent's permission is needed to change any of these settings.

Let's play: THIS OR THAT — Parent Edition

No judgement here. Every family is different.

Easy Tips to Help Your Teen Stay Safe Online

TIP 2: Make it a conversation, not a crackdown.

Building trust matters just as much as any safety feature.

Here are 3 questions to try with your teen:

1️⃣ What's your favourite thing about being online?
2️⃣ What would you do if someone you don't know messaged you?
3️⃣ What's a reasonable time to put the phone away?

Setting expectations together makes a bigger difference than setting rules alone.

CHALLENGE: Try asking your teen one of these questions this week. Come back and tell us how it went!

Easy Tips to Help Your Teen Stay Safe Online

TIP 1: Stay curious about their world.

Teens use social media to explore hobbies, learn new things, and connect with communities that matter to them.

You might not recognise the creators they follow or the jokes they share—and that's okay.

Try this: Ask your teen to show you what excites them online.
It's a simple way to open conversations without it feeling like an interrogation.

YOUR TURN: Have you ever asked your teen to show you something they love online? What did you discover? Tell us in the comments.
