A study of Australian teens' Instagram (a popular photo social media platform) usage found 57% of Australian teenagers use it, while 30% reported being contacted by a stranger, and 20% reported being sent inappropriate unwanted content.
Facebook is considering launching a version of Instagram for children under the age of 13 to safely use it. Currently the company does not allow people who are under 13 to create an account on the platform. A spokesperson for Facebook, announced the company was exploring a parent-controlled version, similar to the Messenger Kids app that is for kids between 6 and 12.
"Increasingly kids are asking their parents if they can join apps that help them keep up with their friends. Right now there aren't many options for parents, so we're working on building additional products that are suitable for kids, managed by parents," the spokesperson said. "We're exploring bringing a parent-controlled experience to Instagram to help kids keep up with their friends, discover new hobbies and interests, and more."
In a blog post, the company noted that although people were asked to enter their ages when signing up for Instagram, there was nothing to prevent them from lying about their ages at registration. Facebook said it would overcome that by using machine learning in association with the registration age to determine people's ages on the platform.
The company also announced plans to roll out new safety features, including preventing adults from messaging children under 13, sending safety notices to children when they are messaged by an adult who sends a lot of friend requests, and making it more difficult for adults to find and follow children using the search function in Instagram. Children will also be encouraged to keep their profiles private at the point of registration.
