Tech Instagram to start alerting parents for specific search - GoFuckYourself.com

The Instagram alerts will begin rolling out next week in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Canada.

Parents will receive the alerts if their teenagers are repeatedly searching during a “short period of time” for “phrases promoting suicide or self-harm, phrases that suggest a teen wants to harm themselves, and terms like ‘suicide’ or ‘self-harm,’” the company said in a blog post.

I bet nearly every fucking parent appreciates this and every teenager is rolling their fucking eyes or screaming on tiktok.

I would certainly appreciate being alerted to something like that and even other types of searches.
