Instagram Halts changes amid backslash from child advocates and policymakers worldwide

Share via:

Following widespread criticism from child advocates and policymakers worldwide, Facebook has temporarily suspended the controversial Instagram ‘Kids’ app, aimed at children aged 10 to 12.

Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri, on the other hand, wants critics to know that the break in development is not “an acknowledgement that the project is a bad idea.” “While we believe that developing ‘Instagram Kids’ is the right thing to do, Instagram and its parent company Facebook will revisit the project at a later time.” In the meantime, Instagram will “continue to focus on teen safety and expanding parental supervision features for teens,” according to a statement from the company.
