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.

Radisson Announces Additional Assay Results from 2024 Drill Program at O'Brien Including 8.36 g/t Gold over 15 Metres

Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional drill assay results from its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec.

The seventeen drill holes reported were completed as part of the 35,000 metre, 2024 drill program designed to increase the scope of gold mineralization at the Project with a combination of deep and shallow drill holes. Prior to the end of last year, Radisson released the results of several deep drill holes which demonstrated high grade mineralization at substantial step-outs below the base of the current Mineral Resource and below the historic O'Brien Mine workings (see Radisson News Releases dated September 24, 2024, October 30, 2024 and December 16, 2024). Today's results represent shallower drilling at the margins, or within, the existing Mineral Resource over the Project's "Trends 1, 2 and 3". The new data continue to demonstrate the Project's characteristic narrow and high-grade gold mineralization within quartz-sulphide veins.
