Dear Friend, 

We woke up this morning to an INCREDIBLE victory!

Instagram has made multiple sweeping changes, which YOU joined us in asking them for. They've introduced new "teen accounts" which will automatically be set to higher safety settings, including:

👉Private Accounts: Teen accounts will automatically be set to private so that the teen must approve new followers and people who don't follow them can't see their content or interact with them. 

👉Restricted Messaging & Interactions: Teens can only be messaged, tagged, or mentioned by people they follow or are already connected to.  

👉Sensitive Content Restrictions: Teen accounts will automatically be set to the highest content restrictions, to limit their exposure to inappropriate content.

To name just a few!

Even better: Teens who try to change their account age to bypass these restrictions will need to go through an age verification process. And teens who are under 16 will need a parent's permission to change the settings. 

Friends, these victories will have a tremendous impact in better protecting children from sexual exploitation and online dangers. And it's because of YOU! 

YOU joined us in pressing on Instagram, year after year, to make these crucial changes to protect children. When you take action, change does happen!

Will you help us make safety settings like these standard across the entire tech industry?

Please become a recurring donor, to support the ongoing fight to protect children online! 

Sincerely,
