We recently got to see how Instagram took new steps to make its app safer for young people and teens. Now, a report from Buzzfeed indicates that Facebook is working on a version of IG exclusively for child users.
Vishal Shah, Vice President of Product for Instagram, said they will build a new youth pillar within the ‘Community Product Group’. Thus, they will be able to focus on two things: the first, speed up integrity and privacy work to ensure a safer experience for teens. The second, develop a version of Instagram that allows young people under 13 years of age use the app safely.
According to a Facebook spokesperson, more and more children are asking their parents to create an account on networks to stay in touch with your friends. “Right now, there aren’t many options for parents, so we are working on building additional products suitable for children to be managed by their guardians ”. Thus, he concluded by stating that they seek to bring “A controlled Instagram experience”So that minors can communicate, discover hobbies and interests and more.
It is necessary to emphasize that Instagram has not had a good time when it comes to cyberbullying to minors. While you’ve tried your best to slow or stop it, this is still a common problem. For its part, regarding Messenger Kids, parent advocacy groups have asked Facebook to remove it; well they allege that social media has a negative impact on your children.
