Teen Safety Online: What Parents & Grandparents Need to Know | Over 50 and Flourishing

Описание: Raising teens in a digital world can feel overwhelming, especially when you didn’t grow up with social media yourself. In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by Antigone Davis, Meta’s Vice President and Global Head of Safety, for an important and reassuring conversation about teen safety, social media, and what parents and grandparents need to know in today’s digital world.

Antigone has spent her career focused on protecting children and young people. With a background in education and law, she now leads global safety efforts at Meta, working with experts, NGOs, and policymakers to create safer online experiences for teens and families.

Together, we talk honestly about the challenges parents face raising teens in a world of social media, smartphones, and AI. Antigone breaks down Meta’s teen safety tools, including built-in guardrails, parental supervision, time limits, and age-appropriate content, and explains how they are designed to support both connection and wellbeing. We also explore why teens may actually welcome boundaries more than we expect and how parents can start these conversations with confidence.
