As part of a collaborative effort with Meta to support responsible UGC platform governance, Alice conducted a structured evaluation of Instagram's Teen Account content protections.
This assessment examined how Instagram's age-appropriate safeguards perform under real-world and adversarial conditions - stress-testing the systems designed to shape what teens can and cannot see on the platform.
The report explores:
- Whether Instagram's default and opt-in content settings for teens work as intended
- How the platform's protections hold up under deliberate attempts to surface age-inappropriate content
- How the intensity of content accessible to Teen Accounts compares to broader cultural benchmarks for teen-appropriate media
- Specific areas where Instagram proactively improved its safeguards based on Alice's findings
