 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas. First introduced as a pilot scheme in 2025, the policy targets applicants seeking B1 and B2 visas, which are designated for business and tourism. According to the U.S. Department of State, the initiative is designed to bolster compliance with local immigration laws and drastically reduce visa overstay rates. How the Visa Bond Policy Works Under the permanent guidelines, U.S. consular officers have the discretion to instruct eligible applicants to post a bond as a prerequisite for visa issuance.

INSTAGRAM INTRODUCES NEW TEEN LIMITS BASED ON PG-13 RATING. (PHOTO).


 Instagram introduces new teen limits based on PG-13 rating

Instagram is rolling out new safety measures for teen accounts, introducing restrictions that align content with a PG-13 movie rating. The updates, set to begin Tuesday and fully implemented by the end of the year, are described by Meta as the platform’s most significant changes to teen accounts since their 2024 launch.

Teens under 18 will automatically be placed in the 13+ protection setting, which cannot be changed without parental permission. The system, inspired by the Motion Picture Association’s PG-13 guidelines, limits content to material deemed generally appropriate for teenagers, though some suggestive content or mild language may occasionally appear. Meta is also using age prediction technology to apply these restrictions even for users who claim to be older.

Parents will gain more control over what their teens can see. Options include allowing access to adult content or selecting a stricter “Limited Content” setting that filters out even more material. The updates also block teens from following accounts that regularly share inappropriate content, and they will have a more limited experience with Instagram’s AI features.

Meta says the changes will hide or deprioritize posts containing strong language, risky stunts, or content promoting potentially harmful behaviors, including posts featuring marijuana paraphernalia. These updates build on existing restrictions covering tobacco, alcohol, and graphic imagery. The changes follow increased scrutiny of Meta’s platforms over child safety concerns, including Senate hearings and multiple lawsuits alleging the company failed to protect minors from exploitation and addictive features.
