The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications has officially launched "supervised accounts" for children and teenagers on YouTube in Algeria. This initiative, managed through the "Family Center," provides parents with a suite of tools to ensure a safer digital experience for their children. Key features include age-appropriate content settings, manual channel selection, and time limits for content like Shorts. For users under 18, automatic protections are applied, such as disabling comments, targeted advertising, and autoplay, alongside health-focused reminders for breaks and bedtime. The Ministry encourages families to adopt these settings while emphasizing that proactive parental guidance and household communication remain the primary defense for a secure digital environment.
