Meta rolls out parental controls for teens’ AI chatbot use
Meta announced new parental safety features, allowing parents to disable teen private chats with AI characters, block specific bots, and view broad topics their children interact about. These tools launch early next year in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia. The change aims to increase oversight amid scrutiny over past reports of inappropriate AI-to-teen conversations. Meta says its core AI assistant will still function under default safety settings. The move follows pressure to ensure safer AI experiences for minors.
