Facebook-owned social media platforms have today released several new features on the apps to help protect its younger users from “potentially suspicious” accounts and limit the options advertisers have to reach young people with ads.
Starting from this week, advertisers will no longer be able to use “interests” or information obtained from other services to show ads to Instagram, Facebook and Messenger’s younger users.

Despite these changes, advertisers will still be able to choose the types of account holders they want to see the ads based off gender, age, location and demographic.
