Two bipartisan bills would protect kids and teens from instagram
The protection of children's online privacy is back in the spotlight as President Joe Biden calls for stronger laws to protect children from data collection and targeted advertising. In response, Meta (formerly Facebook) has implemented a long-awaited set of parental controls for Instagram accounts in the U.S. But how far do these measures go? A whistleblower leaked documents from Facebook showing that they were aware of the extent of harm inflicted by their products on young people, yet their primary motivation was increased engagement and ad revenue. As Congress considers two bipartisan bills, the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0), that are designed to provide comprehensive protections for vulnerable youth, it's important to recognize the three problems that need to be addressed: Instagram's design features that keep young people coming back, the effects on mental health and body image, and the heightened risk of grooming and abuse. With the support of 60 leading civil rights, privacy, and kids’ safety organizations, it's time for Congress to take action and protect our children online.
Truth Social, is hiding user posts, threatening to create a curated 'echo chamber,' research group finds
Since its launch in February, former President Donald Trump's social-media company, Truth Social, has touted itself as a "free speech haven," but a new investigation from Public Citizen has revealed some troubling practices. Cheyenne Hunt, the Big Tech accountability fellow at Public Citizen, conducted an experiment on the platform and found that her posts about abortion rights, the US House investigation into the January 6th Capitol attack, and more were "shadow banned" without any explanation. She also discovered posts about Blake Shelton in favor of gun ownership and a link to a far-right website were also blocked. The Public Citizen report outlines the inconsistencies of Truth Social's content moderation and raises questions about whether the platform is creating an "echo chamber" of radicalism and extremism. Will Truth Social's claims of being a "free speech haven" hold up under further scrutiny?
