Safer Social Media for Teens: What Needs to Change
Teen social media has been a one-way conversation for years. Here is what a safer model looks like — and what parents should still expect to do.
Safer defaults matter more than features
The most important safety feature for a teen account is the default. Private by default. Strict messaging by default. Limited discoverability by default.
Reporting that actually goes somewhere
Reports involving minors must be prioritised and reviewed under clear child-safety standards. A 'report' button that disappears into a queue does not protect anyone.
Parents and guardians still matter
No platform replaces a parent. Set up the account together. Talk about who can message, what to do with weird requests, and how to report. Safegram gives you safer building blocks — supervision is still your job.
