Information from IT House on 2 June that social media platforms are increasingly being viewed for children ' s health and safety. According to Reuters, today's 2nd day,Meta. According to Instagram, Facebook and Messenge, the youth account content set will be expanded globally to provide younger users with a more age-appropriate use experience.
Meta introduced the system in some countries as early as last October, with the goal of preventing children from reaching inappropriate content. Meta also announced that Instagram would test a new feature that would make it more diverse for young people and reduce the recurrence of specific topics in information flows.
In April of this year, Meta warned investors that legal and regulatory pressures in the EU and the United States around youth social media issues “may have a significant impact on our business and financial performance”.
On 25 March, a jury in Los Angeles found, in a landmark trial, that Meta and Google had failed in the design of the social media platform, which had harmed young people. The jury awarded compensation to a 20-year-old woman for a total of $6 million (IT House Note: the current exchange rate is approximately 40,685,000 yuan). The woman stated that she had become obsessed with social media since childhood.
Meta revealed that the youth account will default on the 13+ content set to filter out what has been determined to be inappropriate for youth; Facebook and Messenge will be added later this year to provide a more restrictive experience for users. “We recognize that there are elements that might help, for example, with regard to nutrition, weight lifting or how to respond to anxiety. But these should be balanced with other types of content, rather than repeated.”
