COLUMBUS, Ohio-Navigating social media can be challenging for both teens and parents, prompting Meta and the National Parent Teacher Association to host an event called Screen Smart at Franklin Heights High School in Columbus. The event focused on social media safety and parental controls, aiming to educate families on managing teen accounts on platforms like Instagram, which recently introduced features such as automatic privacy settings and restricted messaging visibility for users under 18. Attendees, including parents and teens, expressed appreciation for the insights gained, highlighting the importance of open conversations about social media at home. Both organizations plan to host more Screen Smart events nationwide to enhance awareness and safety online.
