Set up Facebook parental controls through the Meta Family Center, where you can manage screen time, privacy, activity, and content filters for your child’s account.

To set up Facebook parental controls:

1. Activate Supervision (via Family Center for teens).
2. Limit privacy settings (set profile to "Friends Only").
3. Block strangers (disable friend requests from the public).
4. Restrict sensitive content (under "Settings > Privacy > Content Preferences").
5. Monitor activity with shared logins.
