Instagram to Introduce ‘Teen Accounts’ Mandatory For All Users Under 18

Sep 17 2024

Instagram is rolling out mandatory “Teen Accounts” with built-in limits and parental controls for users under 18. These new accounts are designed to enhance online safety by automatically applying restrictions and monitoring features tailored to younger users.

The “Teen Accounts” come with preset time limits, content filters, and restricted access to certain features, ensuring that teens have a more controlled experience on the platform. Parents will also have the ability to oversee and manage their teen’s account settings through new parental control features, giving them insight into time spent on the app, the ability to set usage limits, and manage content exposure.

This change is part of Instagram’s ongoing efforts to promote responsible social media use among younger audiences, addressing concerns about online safety, mental health, and screen time. By making these accounts automatic for all users under 18, Instagram hopes to strike a balance between offering a fun social experience and protecting its youngest users from potential risks.

The update reflects the growing trend of social platforms incorporating more robust parental controls and user protections for teens, a move welcomed by parents and safety advocates alike.

Minister Owen Bonnici Urges Action On Cultural Rights In The Mediterranean

Sep 17 2024

Minister for National Heritage, Arts, and Local Government Owen Bonnici highlighted the importance of cultural rights during the MED9 meeting, a coalition of nine Mediterranean and Southern EU states. He noted the growing pressures on cultural rights globally, including attempts to narrowly define culture and issues like conflicts, climate change, and pandemics, which impact the cultural sector.

Malta is working to advance cultural justice through a new project aimed at empowering people to engage with cultural issues critically while ensuring respect for others’ rights and freedoms. The Mediterranean region is particularly vulnerable to these challenges due to social currents driven by globalization and population movements.

To address these issues, Malta introduced the National Cultural Policy in 2021, which focuses on eight areas to promote cultural access. The policy seeks to foster social inclusion by creating community cultural spaces, enabling diverse communities to come together regardless of age, abilities, or background.

Minister Bonnici emphasized that MED9 serves as a crucial forum for reflection and transformative change, tackling both the challenges and opportunities facing cultural rights. He stressed that EU member states are well-positioned to address cultural rights issues given their understanding of societal impacts.
