NEW YORK, Sept 27 — Facebook said today that it is suspending development of a version of its Instagram photo-sharing app for children aged under 13, after widespread criticism of the plan.
Instagram chief Adam Mosseri complained that the project aimed at children, which would have created a parentally-supervised version of the app for youngsters, had been widely misunderstood. The suspension of the project’s rollout would give Instagram “time to work with parents, experts, policymakers and regulators, to listen to their concerns, and to demonstrate the value and importance of this project for younger teens online today”, Mosseri said.
