New feature shows conversation topics as scrutiny over child safety grows

MUMBAI: From “what are you watching?” to “what are you asking AI?” parenting just got an upgrade. In a sign of how quickly artificial intelligence has entered teenage life, Meta Platforms is giving parents a new window into what their children are discussing with chatbots. The company has introduced an “Insights” feature within its supervision tools, allowing parents to view the broad topics their teens have interacted with via Meta AI over the past seven days. The feature spans conversations across Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram, and is now live in markets including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Brazil, with a wider rollout planned.
Rather than exposing exact chats, the tool categorises interactions into themes such as school, entertainment, lifestyle, travel, writing, and health and wellbeing. Each category can be explored further lifestyle, for instance, may include fashion or food, while health-related queries could range from fitness to mental wellbeing.
The move reflects a careful balancing act. On one hand, Meta is attempting to reassure parents amid growing concerns about how teens engage with AI. On the other, it stops short of full transparency, opting instead for aggregated insights rather than detailed transcripts.
This is not Meta’s first step in this direction. The company had previewed parental controls for AI interactions in October, including the ability to restrict specific AI characters. Those characters interactive personas inspired by professions or public figures such as Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton were later pulled for teen users in January as the company reworked safeguards.
The timing of the update is far from accidental. It follows mounting legal and regulatory pressure around child safety, including a high-profile case in New Mexico where Meta was held liable over protections for minors. The ruling marked a significant moment in holding technology platforms accountable for how young users interact online.
Alongside the new feature, Meta is also nudging parents towards conversation rather than surveillance, introducing suggested prompts to help families discuss AI use more openly. It has also announced plans to set up an AI Wellbeing Expert Council to guide future product development for younger audiences.
The broader shift is clear, as AI becomes part of everyday teenage curiosity, the question is no longer whether kids are using it but how much their parents can see.

32,000 bad actors targeted, 15 million fake products removed in 2025.

MUMBAI: In a marketplace where trust is the real currency, Amazon is showing its receipts. Amazon has released its first-ever Trustworthy Shopping Experience Report, offering a detailed look at how it polices its vast digital shelves from counterfeit crackdowns to scam detection and review authenticity. At the heart of the report is a four-pronged strategy, proactive controls, risk anticipation, enforcement against bad actors, and consumer protection. The scale is staggering. Since 2020, Amazon’s Counterfeit Crimes Unit has pursued over 32,000 bad actors globally through litigation and criminal referrals spanning 14 countries.
The clean-up drive accelerated in 2025, with the company identifying and disposing of more than 15 million counterfeit products worldwide. Legal action also led to the takedown of over 100 websites linked to fake reviews and scams, an ongoing battle in the age of algorithmic manipulation.
Behind the scenes, artificial intelligence and machine learning are doing the heavy lifting. Amazon says it monitors billions of daily interactions across listings, reviews, and seller activity to spot trouble before it surfaces. Its predictive systems can even flag potentially infringing listings for trending products before brands raise the alarm.
Tools like Omniscan, which verifies product safety information at scale, and SENTRIX, designed to detect and eliminate phishing websites, are part of this expanding tech arsenal. Together, they aim to reduce risk while keeping the platform usable for legitimate sellers.
That balance between protection and friction is a tightrope Amazon acknowledges. Rohan Oommen, Vice President of Worldwide Customer and Partner Trust, noted that while safeguards are critical, they must not stifle genuine businesses. Features like the Account Health Dashboard are meant to give sellers clearer visibility into compliance and performance.
Consumer-facing measures are also getting sharper. From direct safety alerts to recall notifications and refund guidance, Amazon is leaning into transparency, backed by partnerships with consumer organisations to raise awareness.
The report’s release follows the expansion of Amazon’s Counterfeit Crimes Unit into India, signalling a deeper push into one of its fastest-growing markets, with closer coordination planned between brands, sellers, and law enforcement.
In short, as online shopping grows more complex, Amazon is betting that trust built through data, enforcement, and a fair bit of algorithmic vigilance will be its most valuable product yet.
