Meta AI Alerts Parents When Teens Discuss Self-Harm
Meta has introduced a new feature that notifies parents when their teenage children discuss self-harm or suicide in AI conversations. The tool uses AI to detect concerning language and sends alerts to the parent's supervision dashboard. This move aims to enhance safety but raises questions about privacy and trust between teens and their guardians.

While well-intentioned, the feature risks undermining teen privacy and may deter them from seeking help if they fear parental notification.
