Facebook is to give teenagers tips on taking breaks from the website amid fears that too much social media use is leading to stress.
The social networking service has launched Youth Portal, a resource centre aimed at teenagers that will guide them with tips and tricks on how to use the portal.
Youth Portal is essentially an online resource center, which has guides on how users can control their Facebook settings, along with more information about the tools the platform offers and how to apply them.
Some of the tips and tricks include a guide to posting on Facebook, which recommends that the teens should ask themselves whether they would feel comfortable reading out loud to their parents or grandparents the contents of a Facebook post before posting it.
There are also tips on the kind of information a user should or should refrain from sharing, which includes personal details like credit card information or home address.
One of the more useful features it has is organize information related to Facebook’s data policy in a more accessible way that admittedly may not answer every single question but also doesn’t overwhelm young users who may just be looking for the basics. It generally aims to address stuff like what data Facebook collects and how they use that information.
Facebook says that it is still working on figuring out how to actually notify teenagers about its new tips and ensure that they go through them. Earlier this month, as a test, it started showing some of the tips to an unspecified number of teens in their NewsFeeds.
