Meta will now notify parents if their child searches for self-harm-related terms on Facebook.

These alerts, which Meta first brought to Instagram in February, also apply to conversations about self-harm with its AI chatbot across Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. If you or anyone you know is considering self-harm or needs to talk, contact the following people who want to help: In the US, text or call 988. Outside the US, contact https://www.iasp.info/.
