  • Unless you restrict child access entirely, give a child's account (a child is anyone below 18) age-appropriate default settings that are more restrictive than a general account's, and show a clear warning before the child or a parent opts out of those protective defaults.
  • Unless you restrict child access entirely, give the child or a parent or guardian tools to manage exposure to content and to limit the visibility of and interaction with the account.
  • Use technology to proactively detect and swiftly remove child sexual exploitation and abuse material.
