US Attorneys General Coalition urges Facebook not to launch “Instagram for Kids”

11 May 2021
The letter to Facebook cited reasons why children under 13 do not belong on Instagram.

Sort by:

I'm a teacher and I disapprove Instagram for Kids as its not something kids require, plus each child will react differently to this.

Even in the past, Facebook has faced a wide variety of penalties and punishments, but these are considered just a temporary event, after which FB shares in fact go up, because people are relieved.
Why don't you people consider a company has done wrong? Its a penalty for God's sake!

Facebook even thinking of this is an audacity! People are the product, remember?

There's nothing u can do other than being on social media. I can't even get a console to entertain myself coz it's always out-of-stock. Even if I find one, they're sold by the scalpers 🤦

          Creating an addiction to social media as early as possible for teens is pure evil.

              "Among the reasons listed in the letter are: Facebook’s nonexistent history of protecting user's privacy and data in general..."

                            Facebook protects the draconian 1% who in their turn protect people who do horrific things to children.

                              yes, instagram for kids will be not good.
                              Many kids in my country have bad behaviour some caused by social platform.
                              They focused to "stay exist" than study. Happened in Tiktok, facebook, line, and instagram

                                So now FB wants to profit off the data of kids.. How low can morals go for money. Disgusting. Kids don't have understanding of what's good or bad for them.. no doubt this app will corrupt the minds of the innocent kids.. Shameful Sukerberg.

                                    Seems like Instagram is evil and out to corrupt all under 13 year olds.

I could not bear to see my children bombarded with this stuff and become immoral and dumb. You just know pedos are going to register first on these kid plattforms..
