More than 40 attorneys general send a letter to Mark Zuckerberg asking Facebook to scrap plans for an Instagram intended for younger users, citing health and privacy concerns

On Monday, 44 attorneys general signed a letter addressed to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, urging him to scrap plans for an Instagram intended for younger users, citing mental health and privacy concerns. The letter comes less than a month after child safety groups and Congress expressed similar concerns.

In March, Buzzfeed News obtained an internal Instagram memo stating the company has"identified youth work as a priority for Instagram" and was moving forward with plans to build a version specifically intended for kids. It came two days after a blog post from the company, titled"Continuing to Make Instagram Safer for the Youngest Members of Our Community," which said it needed to do more to combat abuse, bullying and other issues that occur on the platform.

smerconish Instagram for children under age 13 is really a bad idea. Especially with all the creepy online predators out there

smerconish Social apps under 16 Should be banned only educational Apps allowed

smerconish Todo está en el internet y es cuestión de que a los niños no se les deje solos cuando la utilicen, así no son víctimas de 'depredadores tecnológicos'. La idea es buena, pero la nula supervisión de adultos, es el verdadero tema de fondo.

Screw fb and all that

Zuckerberg has no limits, soon will have versions of Facebook, whatsapp and Insta for the unborn, get them as early as possible to increase the “customer lifetime value”. When will legislators stop this guy ?

Sorry! Children socializing on a playground with their friends and family is great... Socializing on the internet is outrageous. You should be at least 18 years old.

Children sociali

Good luck with that... He is after money and control.... Everyone knows it and the Democrats get his censor button to push anytime they want... How stupid does CNN think their 7 followers are...

Please Mark and the rest of FB, don’t start poisoning our children. The danger they will be exposed to is to much for them to bear, your a Father be one for all children 🙏

Has more money than he could spend in multiple lives which fortunately for the rest of us he will not get, but still just has to get more. Like Trump and indeed most villains' Zuck just wants more and then some more and then...In a world where for most enough is a challenge.
