Instagram launches 'parents guide' for young people's safety
Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram on Monday
launched a "Parents Guide" to help young people be safe on the
platform.
The guide is aimed at helping young people to be safe, by
informing parents about all the safety features that exist on the platform.
"As the Internet permeates into our lives, especially the
lives of young people, parents want to be adequately equipped with the evolving
digital landscape," Tara Bedi, Public Policy and Community Outreach
Manager for Instagram, India, said in a statement.
"They want to understand how a platform works and feel
comfortable with their children leveraging its opportunities for creative
expression while knowing the safety tools available to them that enable that
expression in a supportive environment," Bedi added.
The guide is a resource from Instagram, available across many countries, to provide parents with a better understanding of the changing digital landscape.
It acts as a conversation starter with their children, as it
provides information about tools that exist to keep their child safe on
Instagram, the company said, ahead of "Safer Internet Day", which is observed
on February 9.
