VOICED : Facebook suspende su criticada versión de Instagram para menores

Facebook has suspended the development of Instagram Kids, a version of Instagram for children under 13, following internal research that highlighted potential mental health risks for adolescents. The decision came after The Wall Street Journal published articles revealing Facebook's awareness of these risks. A Senate hearing is planned to discuss child protection on social media. Facebook defended its research, stating it shows both positive and negative experiences for youth. Instagram's head clarified the project's intent to create a parent-supervised version due to younger children accessing apps meant for older users. The suspension allows for consultations with stakeholders. The initiative faced criticism from U.S. senators and advocacy groups concerned about child safety and the focus on appearance.
