20% children are watching obscene content! Why Instagram can be dangerous for your child? Big reveal of Meta
In today’s digital era, social media has become a part of everyone’s life. Especially children between 13 to 18 years are the most active. Meta made a big revelation in the California court of America. About 20% of 13-15 year old children are seeing such nude and obscene pictures on Instagram which they do not want to see. According to the company’s research, this content is exposed to children without asking. Due to algorithms, such feeds appear again and again. Meta knows that young users are its most important audience. The use of young children is important for the longevity of the platform and the company’s business model. Experts say that social media platforms can have a negative impact on the mental and emotional development of children. Notifications, reels and autoplay videos keep kids glued to the screen. Meta has also provided some security features, such as private account, sensitive content blur and parental controls. But critics say these steps are not enough. According to experts, awareness of parents and open conversation with children is necessary. Social media is global and companies, governments and families must take responsibility for the safety of children. Ultimately the question is: is technology a means of convenience or does it require strict monitoring to control it?
