Supporting Parents Online With Our Screen Smart Program

Supporting Parents Online With Our Screen Smart Program

Takeaways

  • We're kicking off our 2024 Screen Smart program to help parents navigate conversations with their families about using devices safely and learn more about Meta's parental supervision tools.
  • With this program, we want to help parents feel more confident about raising their teens in an increasingly digital world, with boundaries and protections that work best for them.

With a seemingly endless range of apps, websites and devices, parenting in today's digital world can feel overwhelming. Kids today are using devices from early ages, and on average, most teens use about 40 different apps every week. This week, we're kicking off a series of workshops called Screen Smart to empower parents to confidently manage their teens' usage of smartphones and devices - including on Meta's platforms

The series will start this week in Denver, followed by Charleston, Houston, Boston and Los Angeles. At each event we'll provide 1:1 hands-on educational workshops for parents and help them understand the best ways to use our supervision features. Attendees will also hear from academics and clinicians on ways to support their teens' experiences online and learn more from Meta about solutions that would help empower parents. We're calling the series Screen Smart because we want every parent to have the knowledge they need to manage their family's online experiences, with the boundaries and protections that work best for them.

At Meta, we've developed more than 50 tools, resources and features to help teens create, explore and connect on our apps in safe, age-appropriate ways. This includes built-in protections for teens, like private accounts and messaging restrictions, as well supervision features so parents can set the right boundaries for their teens.

However, we know that parenting online is more than just providing the right tools and protections. It's also about building trust with your family when it comes to how they're using smartphones and other devices, helping them navigate unwanted contact online, and approaching conversations about digital safety without being met with eye rolls.

"Instagram and other social media platforms can be great ways to find community, connect with friends, learn new skills and express yourself. Many teens share with me that they ‘find their people' online. For parents, it's important to learn about the tools the platforms offer to help their teen have a positive experience. For example, parents can help teens with their content recommendation settings, time management settings and set up parental supervision if it's right for them." - Screen Smart speaker, pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist, Dr. Hina Talib

That's why we first piloted the Screen Smart series last year with hundreds of creators, community leaders and parents in five cities: New York, Miami, Chicago, Nashville and Seattle. During these events, Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, and Meta's Global Head of Safety, Antigone Davis, shared Meta's ongoing efforts in this space. Attendees also heard from experts including child psychologist Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart, pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist Dr. Hina Talib and Dr. Katie Davis from University of Washington's Digital Wellness Lab.

Whether it's through events like these, ad campaigns, in-app promotion or resources in our Meta Family Center, we're always working to educate parents on our safety features and tools, and to advocate for legislation that puts parents in charge of teen app downloads.

Strong drilling targets identified next to high-grade gold-copper mine

Strong drilling targets identified next to high-grade gold-copper mine

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Cygnus has identified numerous drilling targets near the historic high-grade Cedar Bay mine, which produced 400Koz Au and 61Kt Cu at an average of 4% CuEq, 2 within the Chibougamau Project
  • Targets identified through ongoing review of historical data and drill logs using Cygnus' innovative custom-built AI solution
  • This highly successful approach has already delivered significant gold and copper results at Golden Eye, which will be included in the imminent resource update
  • Cedar Bay closed in 1990 when the price of copper was just US$1,150/t (US$0.52/lb) and gold was US$380/oz, and is located less than 3km from Cygnus' central processing plant
  • Cygnus aims to significantly increase the remaining unmined high-grade resource at Cedar Bay, which currently stands at 130kt at 8.9% CuEq Indicated and 230kt at 8.5% CuEq Inferred 1
  • Mineralisation is open in numerous directions, with high-grade intersections outside of the current resource, including: 3
    • 3.4m @ 16.8% CuEq (4.8% Cu, 15.2g/t Au & 23.3g/t Ag) (CB-27-9)
    • 2.9m @ 9.6% CuEq (8.4% Cu, 1.0g/t Au & 43.0g/t Ag) (CB-27-6)
  • At Corner Bay, final infill results have been received and will feed into next month's resource update; These include:
    • 3.5m @ 4.9% CuEq (4.2% Cu, 0.5g/t Au & 27.3g/t Ag) (CB-25-123)
    • 1.8m @ 7.7% CuEq (6.3% Cu, 0.9g/t Au & 45.9g/t Ag) (CB-25-125)
Cygnus Executive Chairman David Southam said : "These latest targets, supported by historical drilling data, are located right next to a high-grade mine, making them compelling.

"Given their potential to help drive resource growth, we are mobilising another rig with the aim of drilling the targets ASAP.

"In the meantime, we are feeding the final results from Corner Bay into our updated resource model, which is set to be released next month. The resource update, combined with a pipeline of targets and multiple rigs turning, ensures we are maximising our ability to create significant shareholder value.

"Uncovering these new growth targets through our compilation strategy adds further weight to the work we are doing in the background which has already delivered success at Golden Eye in a mere six months of taking ownership. The Chibougamau camp has successfully produced a significant amount of high-grade gold and copper over a long history with multiple mines that have not been geologically or economically examined in over 35 years".

Cygnus Metals Limited (ASX: CY5; TSXV: CYG; OTCQB: CYGGF) ("Cygnus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new promising targets next to an historic high-grade mine within its Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project in Quebec.
