| 52 | 48 | ## KEEPING YOU SAFE |
| 53 | 49 | |
| 54 | 50 | ### A safe platform is critical for you to feel secure about sharing with the people you care about. |
| 55 | 51 | |
| 56 | 52 | That's why we're constantly working to stop malicious activity before it reaches you. Here are the ways we work to protect your privacy, safety, and well-being on Messenger: |
| 78 | 74 | #### Spotting impersonators |
| 79 | 75 | |
| 80 | 76 | The Blue Badge on Messenger lets you make sure the account you're speaking with is authentic, and helps to prevent scammers from posing as public figures, media companies or brands. |
| 81 | 77 | |
| 82 | 78 | #### Reducing the spread of misinformation |
| 83 | 79 | |
| 84 | Providing people with context helps stop the spread of misinformation. The forwarded label alerts you when you are receiving a forwarded message, which helps you know when a message you received was not created by the person who sent it. | |
| 80 | To reduce the spread of viral misinformation and harmful content, we limit the number of chats a message can be forwarded to at one time. We also have additional protections in place for content that has been identified as misinformation on Facebook and shared directly into Messenger. For more information, [see How Facebook Protects Elections](https://l.messenger.com/l.php). | |
| 85 | 81 | |
| 86 | 82 | #### Enhanced safeguards for minors |
| 87 | 83 | |
| 88 | 84 | Keeping minors safe on our platforms is one of our greatest responsibilities. We provide enhanced safety features for children under the age of 18 such as limiting who can message them and how they can be found in search, and offer them educational tips. We also use machine learning to detect and disable accounts who are engaging in inappropriate interactions with children. |
