Summary
In this week’s bonus episode, Tay sits down with Antigone Davis, Meta’s Global Head of Safety, to talk about the company’s latest efforts to create safer online experiences for teens and families—including the introduction of Instagram Teen Accounts! Antigone shares how Meta is building digital spaces that automatically place teens in built-in protections and give parents greater peace of mind. This includes new parental supervision tools, age verification, and programs designed to help families feel more confident navigating life online. Whether you’re a parent, thinking about becoming a parent, or simply have a teen in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
Instagram Teen Accounts —now expanded to Facebook and Messenger—are designed to give parents peace of mind that their teens are safer with the right protections in place.

| 0:04.2 | Hello, lemon drops. |
| 0:05.2 | Welcome to a very special episode of The Squeeze. |
| 0:08.5 | You may realize it's not Wednesday. |
| 0:10.3 | And there's an episode, a new one. |
| 0:13.3 | And I'm super excited because this episode is truly a bonus episode because today I'm going |
| 0:18.8 | to sit down with Antigone Davis. |
| 0:20.4 | She is Meta's vice president |
| 0:21.9 | and global head of safety. And Meta has some really cool stuff going on. They introduced these |

| 0:55.4 | as little as 15 minutes a day. With supervision, parents can also see who their teens are |

| 1:11.7 | Instagram is adding additional features to teen accounts, including new restrictions for Instagram |
