Meta’s has been listening to some concerns after all especially now after some pressure.
These changes very well could help parents moderate their teens. Meta’s head of product says these changes address particular 3 concerns in an Npr interview.
Will this be the end of the complaints and concerns geared towards Instagram, probably not.
Feels like news from another dimension. Yes, I understand where censoring “bad words” comes from. But at the same time, huh? Why aren’t they using AI to mark posts for polarizing (adult?) content? Why not mark insidious arguments, propaganda… things that require experience and which if internalized by a naive kid might derail natural progression?
When I put on my “think of the children” cap I think about things that might hurt children, not stupid shit like censoring inappropriate language.
