According to the latest report, Facebook’s vice president of global affairs said on Sunday that Instagram will introduce new measures to guide young users away from potentially harmful content and hint that young users take a break for their mental health.
Facebook has had a bad week before, and amid increasing criticism, the social network has stated that it will take more measures to protect some of its users. Nick Clegg, Facebook’s vice president of global affairs and former British deputy prime minister, explained some changes that might help young users.
In an interview with CNN, Clegg said: We will introduce something that I think will have a considerable impact, that is, when our system sees that teenagers are watching the same content over and over again, and it is content that may not be good for their health. At that time, we will prompt them to watch other content.
In addition to monitoring the type of content being browsed, Craig also suggested: We are introducing something called take a break’. We will prompt teenagers to simply take a break from using Instagram. Clegg did not provide a timetable for when these features will be launched, but Facebook is said to have been studying how to protect its users. This includes asking users to provide their date of birth and possibly using algorithmic detection systems to determine whether users have misreported their age in various ways.

Facebook had previously planned to launch a version of Instagram for children, but the plan was suspended and Facebook tried to resist criticism of the proposal. Another part of Clegg’s talk involved the leaked documents and the testimony of the whistleblower Francis Hogan in the Senate, who described Facebook as a company that “harmed children, incited division, and weakened our democracy. According to Haogen, Facebook has ways to make changes to make the social network more secure, but it is unwilling, “because they put astronomical profits above people’s safety.
Regarding whether Facebook’s algorithm helped those involved in the January 6th Capitol riots, Craig said that the algorithm if necessary, it should be held accountable through regulation so that people can compare what our system says to do with reality. Match what happened.
