you only have a 12 minute
commute. All right. Thanks,
Justin. A and as students
return to the classroom, it’s
the perfect time to set new
guidelines for social media
use. Yeah, we’re talking about
setting boundaries on the
amount of time your child
spends on social media and the
content that they’re seeing
every day.
>> Dana Gilbert is the head of
global policy programs that
Instagram says she’s joining us
live this morning to talk more
about this. Good morning.
Good morning. So, Dana, we want
to talk with why it’s important
to set these boundaries,
especially as kids are
transitioning from summer to
school. Why do you think that’s
that’s important?
>> It’s a great question that.
Going back to school is the
perfect time for parents and
teens to have conversations
around online 15 and times for
the management. And it’s also,
as you said, a really great
opportunity to revisit some
of the guidelines that they’ve
that around social media.
So really excited to be here to
talk about the many tool that
offer families to help them do
just that. For example, you
may not know that the offer
rental supervision on Instagram
with parental supervision and
parents that they need time
limit where their teammate.
Also schedule block hours are
when they don’t want their team
to be accessing act. So say
that’s during
dinner time.
>> War while they’re at school
or while they are supposed to
be doing homework. Now, all
of these tools are not only
designed to some people get
back to balance. God will I?
It’s also meant to help
these families our to have
broader conversation around
building positive online.
>> So than 2 quick questions.
How old are you supposed to be
now to be on Instagram? What is
the edge? I guess
recommendation.
The great question. You’re
required to be 13 years old to
be on Instagram 15. And then if
I want to set these controls to
actually have to go into my
15 year-old 16 year-old account
and set it on their device and
what’s to stop them from?
I mean, they’re pretty smart
from going into their settings
and changing. And where can I
do it remotely? Like from up
parent none of my kids have
Instagram right now, by the
way, is why I’m asking. This is
where parental supervision come
to it. So you can visit family.
>> After 0 dot com and that’s
where you can access all of our
parental supervision. Tools
not just on Instagram, but also
on messenger and devices.
Okay. Once you have parental
supervision that up, you can
set those daily limits. As I
mentioned, that was block
hours. You can also bring you
what you can do it. And I just
see setting you can view their
teen. We’re teen is following
on Instagram and also get
updates when they start to
follow someone new and the most
important, I think most
exciting for
parents is they also have
visibility into and when their
teams have blocked an account
or reported a mic. Interesting,
all of this visibility and this
experience gives parents the
tools to start these
conversations with their teens.
And as I mentioned, we revisit
some of their guidelines and
boundaries for that.
>> And you have a new feature
called restrict that supposed
to help combat bullying.
Can you tell us about restrict?
>> Bullying is top of mind for
so many parents, especially
for us at we talked to a
lot of firth and parents and
what we found was that
oftentimes when a teen is
experiencing bullying, it’s
coming from someone that they
know it’s someone in a math
class. If the friend that
they’ve had a falling out with
a win on the baseball team.
And so that means that some of
those farmer actions blocking
an account boarding an account
that might feel a little more
difficult for a young person to
take when they know that
person. So it launched the way
work says once you’ve
restricted someone they will be
able to comment on your
accounts as normal, but their
comments will be visible only
to them.
people to eat when you’re on
the line or when you read one
of their direct messages.
Now, all of these tools kind of
young people, the power and the
control over a bullying
situation. But they’re able to
do it in a more discreet way
because the most important
thing here is we will never
tell someone if they’ve been
restricted.
>> That’s very asking. So than
the bully sitting there
thinking he’s not giving
