About Executive summary Managing risks Issues Stakeholders Transparency and remedy Annex 5. Best interests of the child The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) states that in all actions concerning children, “the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration.” Meta’s Best Interests of the Child Framework aligns with the fundamental values of the UNCRC. Online child protection is a top priority for Meta. We offer tools for teens, parents and guardians with built-in protections to help keep them safe while providing space for them to exercise their right to freedom of expression and access to information. Examples of potential inherent salient human rights risks identified in CSRA Children can be exposed to unwanted, inappropriate content or predatory behavior. Examples of how Meta addressed the potential risks in 2025 Building on Teen Accounts, we added new protections and unveiled updated content settings, inspired by 13+ movie ratings criteria and parent feedback. This means Instagram’s goal is for teens to see content that’s similar to what they’d see in age-appropriate movies by default, and we introduced a new, stricter setting for parents who prefer a more restrictive experience for their teen. We also announced new controls to help parents manage how their teens interact with AI on our apps, took legal action against companies behind “nudify” apps and partnered with schools to address cyberbullying. 6. Public participation, to vote, and to be elected The right to public participation, to vote, and to be elected in free and fair elections is a cornerstone of democracy. Protecting the integrity of elections on our services and apps is one of our highest priorities. We work hard to protect elections online before, during and after election periods.
