What do Instagram’s new teen restrictions mean for TikTok and YouTube? Why does Google Maps suddenly say “Lake America” instead of Lake Ontario? And how did a man allegedly scam women out of $1.3 million by pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers player?

This week on Well Informed Girlfriends, Sam and Lauren break down the Meta social media settlement and the new rules for teens on Instagram and Facebook — including why TikTok and YouTube could be next. Plus, President Trump’s Lake Ontario “Lake America” rename hits Google Maps, the wild fake NFL player dating scam involving at least 26 women and the boyfriend algorithm-to-ick pipeline fueled by manosphere content.

We’re also getting into “The Great Settling” and why workers are accepting lower-paying jobs, TikTok’s gross new “pheromone maxxing” trend, Gen Z’s surprisingly wholesome “community-maxxing” movement and “cushioning,” the toxic dating trend where people keep romantic backup plans while they’re still in a relationship.
