Instagram is rolling out a new account type for users under 18, introducing "Teen Accounts" to enhance protections for young people, according to a recent blog post by the company.

Google sales representatives advised ad buyers on ways to target teenage users, despite the company's policy prohibiting targeted advertising based on demographics for those under 18, according to a recent report by AdWeek.

A recent report by the Financial Times has revealed that Meta and Google covertly collaborated on a campaign that targeted Instagram ads at 13 to 17-year-olds on YouTube, breaking Google’s own rules against advertising to minors.

American teens think Facebook has definitely lost its cool factor, but use it as much as ever.
