Instagram will start proactively alerting parents if their child repeatedly searches for content related to suicide within a short timeframe, company reps announced Thursday. Starting next week, the flagging system will be available to moms and dads who use Instagram’s parental supervision tool. “These alerts are designed to give parents the information they need to support their teen and come with expert resources to help parents approach these sensitive conversations,” Meta, which owns Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp, wrote in a blog post.
