¡Claro, es súper importante hablar sobre esto! Hay varias razones por las que es crucial fomentar el uso de la versión para niños de las redes sociales para nuestros hijos. Aquí tienes algunas razones clave:Protección de la privacidad: La versión para niños de las redes sociales a menudo tiene controles parentales más estrictos y opciones de privacidad mejoradas. Esto ayuda a proteger la identidad y la información personal de los niños de posibles riesgos y peligros en línea.Contenido apropiado para la edad: Las redes sociales para niños suelen filtrar y presentar contenido que es adecuado para la edad de los niños, evitando así la exposición a material inapropiado o perjudicial. Interacciones seguras: Las plataformas para niños a menudo facilitan un entorno en el que las interacciones entre usuarios están más controladas y supervisadas, lo que reduce el riesgo de acoso cibernético, acoso o exposición a comportamientos inapropiados. Educar sobre el uso responsable de las redes sociales: Al comenzar con una versión diseñada específicamente para niños, los padres y cuidadores tienen la oportunidad de enseñar a sus hijos sobre el uso responsable de las redes sociales, estableciendo una base sólida para cuando estén listos para migrar a plataformas más tradicionales. Protección contra publicidad no deseada: Las redes sociales para niños tienden a tener menos publicidad y promociones, lo que ayuda a proteger a los niños de posibles impactos negativos.→ Aplicaciones para nuestros niños:Messenger Kids: AQUÍ Youtube Kids: AQUÍ → Redes Sociales de Jonathan: AQUÍ ¡Cuéntanos en los comentarios! 😊¡Dale al play y disfruta!_________________ ⇩ ⇩ ⇩ ⇩ ________________✔︎ Síguenos en: PULSA AQUÍ✔︎ Canal de Telegram: PULSA AQUÍ_________________ ⇩ ⇩ ⇩ ⇩ ________________Host: Albert Cabrera➥ ¿Te fue ÚTIL y de GRAN VALOR escuchar este programa?👉 Entonces DEBERÍAS considerar devolver parte de ese valor, realizando una contribución libre con el monto que consideres justo. ⚡ENLACE DIRECTO para hacer el aporte.

On this day in legal history, November 29 marks a significant turning point during the Vietnam War era. In 1967, Robert S. McNamara, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, announced his resignation from the position to become president of the World Bank. This decision came amidst the escalating unpopularity of the Vietnam Conflict both in the United States and internationally.McNamara, who had a rapid ascent from being an automotive executive, had become one of the most powerful Defense Secretaries in American history. His tenure, starting in 1961 under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, was marked by a strong managerial style and significant involvement in foreign affairs, particularly the Vietnam War. Initially, McNamara was a staunch supporter of U.S. involvement in the war and played a key role in advising President Johnson to escalate the conflict in 1964. However, as the war progressed, he began to privately question U.S. policy in Vietnam and eventually advocated for a negotiated settlement.In the summer of 1967, McNamara was instrumental in drafting the San Antonio formula, a peace proposal that sought to end U.S. bombing in North Vietnam and invited the North Vietnamese to engage in productive talks. However, this proposal was rejected by North Vietnam in October of the same year. Following this, in early November, McNamara submitted a memorandum to President Johnson, recommending that the U.S. freeze its troop levels, halt the bombing in the north, and shift the responsibility of the ground war to the South Vietnamese. These recommendations, however, were outright rejected by President Johnson.McNamara's resignation was a significant moment in the history of the Vietnam War. He had become a target for the ire of the U.S. anti-war movement due to his initial support for expanding the Vietnam War. His departure marked the end of his tenure as the longest-serving Secretary of Defense. He was succeeded by Johnson adviser Clark Clifford. McNamara's resignation highlighted the internal conflicts and changing views within the U.S. administration regarding the Vietnam War. It also underscored the increasing unpopularity and complexity of the conflict, which continued to shape U.S. foreign policy and legal considerations for years to come.Law firms are grappling with whether to inform clients about their use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in legal work. While AI promises to enhance efficiency and speed, it raises questions about disclosure practices. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, for instance, hasn't decided on a firm policy but emphasizes full disclosure in any AI use. This issue has sparked debate within the legal community, with differing opinions on whether and how AI use should be communicated to clients.Former U.S. magistrate judge and New York State Bar Association AI task force member Ron Hedges questions the need for detailed disclosure of every AI research tool used but stresses the importance of transparency about data use and client awareness. Various state bar associations are also weighing in. The California Bar recently advised lawyers to consider AI disclosure, while the Florida Bar recommends obtaining informed consent for AI use that involves sharing confidential information.AI disclosure is expected to feature in engagement letters, with law firms likely to follow client preferences. Ultimately, the consensus is to adhere to client instructions regarding AI use, but proactive disclosure policies run the gamut.Law Firms Wrestle With How Much to Tell Clients About AI UseOn November 29, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to deliberate on the legality of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) in-house enforcement proceedings. This follows an appeal by President Biden's administration against a decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in 2022 that the SEC's internal tribunal system violates the U.S. Constitution's Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial and infringes on presidential and congressional powers.The case centers on hedge fund manager George Jarkesy, who was fined and barred from the securities industry by the SEC for securities fraud. Critics argue that the SEC holds an unfair advantage in its administrative proceedings compared to federal court juries. The SEC conducted 270 in-house proceedings in the fiscal year ending September 30, exceeding the 231 cases in federal court.The Supreme Court's ruling could significantly impact enforcement actions against misconduct in various sectors, potentially hampering the SEC and other agencies. The court has previously expressed skepticism towards broad federal regulatory powers, including in a 2018 ruling on the SEC's selection of in-house judges and a 2021 decision facilitating challenges to agency actions in federal court.Jarkesy's challenge, backed by various conservative and business groups, reflects broader concerns about the regulatory reach of the federal "administrative state" in areas like energy, environment, and financial regulation. The SEC, after investigating Jarkesy and his firm Patriot28 LLC, found them guilty of several violations, including misrepresentation, and imposed significant financial penalties.The 5th Circuit's decision criticized the SEC's discretion in choosing case venues and found that job protections for its administrative judges infringe on presidential powers. The Supreme Court's ruling, expected by the end of June, could also influence upcoming decisions on the constitutional conformity of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's funding structure and federal agencies' regulatory actions defense in court.US Supreme Court weighs legality of SEC in-house enforcementAdobe is set to defend its proposed $20 billion acquisition of Figma at a closed hearing on December 8, addressing EU antitrust concerns. The European Commission has previously warned that this acquisition could reduce competition in the global market for interactive product design software, where Figma is a significant player. The Commission is concerned that the deal might reinforce Adobe's dominance in vector and raster editing tools, eliminating Figma as a competitor. During the hearing, Adobe will have the opportunity to present its case to senior Commission officials, national antitrust watchdogs, as well as rivals and third parties. Adobe has expressed willingness to propose remedies to address regulatory issues. The EU antitrust enforcer is expected to make a decision on the deal by February 5. Additionally, the acquisition has raised concerns in Britain, with its competition agency indicating that the deal could negatively impact innovation in software used by the majority of UK digital designers.Adobe to defend Figma deal at Dec. 8 EU hearing, sources sayMeta Platforms, the owner of WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, plans to appeal a U.S. judge's ruling in its ongoing privacy dispute with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied Meta's motion for the court to oversee the dispute, leading Meta to file an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The core of the dispute is whether an FTC judge or a district judge should decide on potentially tightening a 2019 consent decree, which primarily affects Meta's earnings from users under 18. This legal battle began when the FTC proposed modifying the 2019 settlement, under which Facebook (now Meta) had to pay $5 billion. The FTC aims to restrict Meta from profiting from data collected on users under 18 and impose broader limitations on its use of facial recognition technology. The FTC also accused Meta of misleading parents about the controls in its Messenger Kids app. Additionally, the FTC has sought to force Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp in a separate legal action.Meta says it will appeal US judge's ruling in privacy fight with FTC | ReutersThe evolving U.S. energy policy, particularly with the focus on clean energy and infrastructure, is significantly increasing the demand for legal advisors experienced in these fields.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted May 5 at 6:55 a.m. CT: The choking death of a man at the hands of another New York subway rider was setting off powerful reactions Thursday, with some calling it a criminal, racist act even as authorities reserved judgment on the killing. The owner of Russia's Wagner Group military contractor is threatening to pull his troops out of the protracted battle for the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut next week. He accused Russia's military command Friday of starving his forces of ammunition and rendering them unable to fight.

BMW is warning the owners of about 90,000 older vehicles in the U.S. not to drive them due to an increasing threat that the air bags can explode in a crash. California lawmakers have agreed to loan $150 million to financially distressed hospitals. The vote on Thursday comes after the only hospital in rural Madera County closed in January. A jury has concluded that British singer Ed Sheeran's hit song “Thinking Out Loud” didn't copy key components of Marvin Gaye's classic tune “Let's Get It On.” Vladimir Putin's spokesman alleged the U.S. was behind what Russia claimed was a Ukrainian attack on the Kremlin. The U.S. Department of Justice says an environmental justice probe found Alabama engaged in a pattern of inaction and neglect regarding the risks of raw sewage for residents in an impoverished county. A Republican donor paid two years of private school tuition for a child raised by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and Thomas didn't disclose the payments.

Bienvenido a La Wikly.Lo importante: Facebook protagoniza una de sus peores rachas de imagen por falta de transparencia. La publicación de un extenso reportaje de The Wall Street Journal ha vuelto a ilustrar lo tóxica y problemática que puede llegar a ser la plataforma.Eso incluye priorizar el contenido de odio, ser un activo dañino para las adolescentes o desdeñar la moderación de contenido ilegal, violento o extremista lejos de las fronteras estadounidenses.Contexto: la polémica nace de la filtración de miles de páginas de documentos confidenciales de Facebook hecha por una exdirectora de la compañía.El nombre de la informante es Frances Haugen, de la que te hablamos en esta edición premium de La Wikly después de que testificara en uno de los comités del Senado.El reportaje del WSJ se divide en nueve partes que analizan los documentos filtrados. Así que para poder hacer una radiografía de las conclusiones que saca el diario, vamos a resumir las revelaciones a lo largo de dos publicaciones.Una es la que leerás a continuación. La otra saldrá el próximo lunes.🪞 Espejito, espejito… malo¿Qué pasa? En los últimos años, Facebook ha llevado a cabo estudios para descifrar si Instagram es perjudicial para sus usuarios más jóvenes. En repetidas ocasiones, los investigadores de la compañía han descubierto que la aplicación es dañina para un porcentaje significativos de ellos, sobre todo para las chicas.Por ejemplo, el 32 por ciento de las adolescentes dicen que si se sienten mal con sus cuerpos, Instagram hace que se sientan peor, según una presentación de diapositivas publicada en el tablero de mensajes interno de Facebook en 2020.Contexto: más del 40 por ciento de los usuarios de Instagram tienen 22 años o menos. Y alrededor de 22 millones de adolescentes en Estados Unidos inician sesión en Instagram cada día.En promedio, los adolescentes en EE. UU. pasan un 50 por ciento más de tiempo en Instagram que en Facebook.Un equipo de investigadores de Facebook llevó a cabo lo que llamaron una "inmersión profunda en la salud mental de los adolescentes", así como estudios de seguimiento. Llegaron a la conclusión de que algunos de los problemas eran específicos de Instagram y no de las redes sociales en general.La tendencia a compartir solo los mejores momentos del día a día de cada uno, la presión por lucir perfecto y un producto adictivo pueden ser la tormenta perfecta para que los adolescentes desarrollen no solo una imagen negativa de sus cuerpos, sino también trastornos alimentarios y depresiones."Los adolescentes nos dijeron que no les gusta la cantidad de tiempo que pasan en la aplicación, pero sienten que tienen que estar presentes. […] A menudo se sienten 'adictos' y saben que lo que ven es malo para su salud mental, pero se sienten incapaces de detenerse", explicó un gerente de investigación de Instagram a sus colegas, según los documentos.Angela Guarda, directora del programa de trastornos alimentarios en el Hospital Johns Hopkins, dijo que es común que sus pacientes digan que aprendieron sobre cómo restringir la ingesta de alimentos a través de consejos en las redes sociales.Guarda estima que Instagram y otras aplicaciones de redes sociales juegan un papel en los trastornos de aproximadamente la mitad de sus pacientes.Pese a conocer esta información, Facebook ha minimizado constantemente en público los efectos negativos de la aplicación en adolescentes.Adam Mosseri, director de Instagram, dijo a los periodistas en mayo que la investigación que había visto sugiere que los efectos de la aplicación en el bienestar de los adolescentes probablemente sean "bastante pequeños".Y Mark Zuckerberg, consejero delegado de Facebook, defendió a la compañía durante una audiencia del Congreso en marzo contra las críticas de los legisladores sobre los planes para crear un nuevo producto de Instagram para niños menores de 13 años.El lanzamiento de Instagram Kids ha sido congelado."La investigación que hemos visto es que el uso de aplicaciones sociales para conectarse con otras personas puede tener beneficios positivos para la salud mental", dijo Zuckerberg en la audiencia cuando se le preguntó sobre los niños y la salud mental. Yikes.En agosto, los senadores Richard Blumenthal y Marsha Blackburn pidieron en una carta a Zuckerberg que publicara la investigación interna de Facebook sobre el impacto de sus plataformas en la salud mental de los jóvenes.En respuesta, Facebook envió a los senadores una carta de seis páginas que no incluía los propios estudios de la empresa. En cambio, la empresa dijo “no estar al tanto de un consenso entre los estudios o expertos”.Cuando Facebook probó un ajuste para ocultar los "me gusta" en un programa piloto que llamaron Proyecto Daisy descubrieron que no mejoraba la vida de los adolescentes. No obstante, la compañía implementó el cambio como una opción para los usuarios de Facebook e Instagram en mayo de 2021 después de que altos ejecutivos le dijeran a Zuckerberg que podría servir para ilustrar que la compañía estaba abordando uno de tantos problemas:"Un lanzamiento de Daisy sería recibido por la prensa y los padres como una fuerte indicación positiva de que Instagram se preocupa por sus usuarios", escribieron los ejecutivos de Facebook en una discusión sobre cómo presentar sus hallazgos a Zuckerberg.¿Entonces? Lo grave de estas revelaciones tiene que ver con el cinismo de Facebook, sí, pero también con la falta de transparencia sobre los efectos que sus productos están teniendo entre la población, especialmente los más jóvenes.Cabe resaltar que Facebook no solo no hace públicos los resultados de sus estudios, sino que tampoco permite que investigadores externos analicen sus plataformas de la forma honesta que ya no podemos esperar por parte de Zuckerberg y su equipo.🤳 Conquistando nuevas generaciones¿Qué pasa? Con la caída de popularidad de Facebook entre los más jóvenes, la compañía se puso una meta de tres años para crear más productos para preadolescentes y encargó documentos estratégicos sobre las oportunidades comerciales a largo plazo que presentan esos usuarios más jóvenes.La competencia de sus rivales, en particular Snapchat y TikTok, es un factor motivador detrás de ese trabajo, según los documentos obtenidos por WSJ.Explícamelo: Facebook ha intentado comprender qué productos pueden resonar en niños y preadolescentes (de 10 a 12 años), cómo estos jóvenes ven las aplicaciones de la competencia y qué les preocupa a sus padres.Pero conocido el contexto de lo perjudiciales que pueden llegar a ser las aplicaciones de Facebook se hace difícil digerir la forma tan agresiva de la compañía para llegar a los más jóvenes, especialmente si no estudian antes los posibles efectos negativos en ellos.Contexto: en Estados Unidos, la cantidad diaria de adolescentes que usan Facebook se ha reducido en un 19 por ciento en los últimos dos años y probablemente se reduciría en un 45 por ciento adicional de cara a 2023.Una encuesta del Pew Research Center de 2020 descubrió que entre los niños de 9 a 11 años:El 30 por ciento usaba TikTok.El 22 por ciento usaba Snapchat.El 11 por ciento usaba Instagram.Solo un 6 por ciento usaba Facebook.La primera incursión de Facebook en productos específicos para niños fue su lanzamiento en 2017 de Messenger Kids, una aplicación de video y chat de amplio control parental, para usuarios de 6 a 12 años.Sin embargo, el interés en Messenger Kids disminuyó después de los 10 años y los preadolescentes vieron Facebook como un producto para personas mayores.Playdates. La compañía incluso exploró la posibilidad de usar las citas de juegos (dos o más familias concretan un plan para que sus hijos jueguen juntos) para potenciar el crecimiento de la app Messenger Kids.Esta serie de revelaciones, y la montante preocupación en torno a las estrategias de Facebook para llegar a los más pequeños, provocó que esta misma semana la compañía congelara el lanzamiento de nuevos productos.🌟 La élite secreta¿Qué pasa? Puede que Zuckerberg haya dicho públicamente que Facebook permite a sus usuarios hablar en pie de igualdad con las élites de la política, la cultura y el periodismo —y que sus estándares de comportamiento se aplican a todos, sin importar su estatus o fama.Sin embargo, la documentación revisada por WSJ revela la existencia de una élite de usuarios de alto perfil que quedan eximidos de algunas o de todas las reglas del sitio.El programa, conocido como verificación cruzada o XCheck, protege a millones de usuarios VIP del proceso de moderación normal de la empresa.XCheck a veces ha protegido a figuras públicas cuyas publicaciones contenían acoso o incitación a la violencia, algo que normalmente daría lugar a sanciones para los usuarios habituales, según muestran los documentos.Por ejemplo, en 2019, permitió al futbolista brasileño Neymar mostrar a decenas de millones de sus fans unas fotos de los desnudos de una mujer que lo había acusado de violación.Facebook tardó más de 24 horas en eliminar el contenido.El procedimiento estándar de Facebook para gestionar la publicación de “imágenes íntimas no consensuadas” es simple: eliminarlo antes de que se publique. Pero Neymar estaba protegido por XCheck, lo que dificultó la labor de los moderadores.En otros términos, es posible que a los usuarios corrientes nunca se les diga qué regla violaron o que ni tan siquiera se les dé la oportunidad de apelar la decisión de la plataforma de haber borrado su publicación o incluso su cuenta.Sin embargo, los usuarios de XCheck reciben un trato distinto. Si los sistemas de Facebook concluyen que una de esas cuentas VIP podría haber infringido sus reglas, no eliminan el contenido, al menos no de inmediato.La queja se enruta a un sistema separado, con empleados a tiempo completo mejor capacitados, para niveles adicionales de revisión.En la práctica, la mayoría de las veces esa revisión posterior no llega.La documentación obtenida por WSJ revela que XCheck creció hasta incluir a al menos 5.8 millones de usuarios en 2020, lo que a su vez permitió que las publicaciones de esos usuarios que violaban sus reglas se vieran al menos 16.400 millones de veces antes de ser eliminadas.Es decir, cuando el daño ya estaba hecho.El próximo lunes, exploraremos los artículos del WSJ que desgranan la documentación de Facebook acerca de la desinformación y el contenido de odio que prolifera en su plataforma.¿Desea saber más? En The Wall Street Journal tienes los artículos completos sobre los temas que hemos tocado en esta entrega, así como podcasts que indagan en las principales revelaciones del reportaje.🎬 Una recomendaciónCon la colaboración de FilminEl verano de Sangaile es una película lituana de 2015 dirigida por Alanté Kavaïté. Sigue la historia de Sangaile, una adolescente fascinada con los aviones de acrobacias que tiene miedo a las alturas.Sangaile es tímida e introvertida, con lo que conocer a la luminosa Austé supone un cambio que transforma lo que tenía visos de convertirse en un verano de miradas perdidas en su habitación.Con la relación entre las dos protagonistas, lideradas por una estupenda Aisté Dirziüté, Kavaïté logra un drama adolescente que sabe viajar entre las luces y sombras de Sangaile sin perder el foco en la construcción de su personaje.Además, apoyándose en unos escenarios a veces mágicos (¡qué atardeceres!) que crean la atmósfera idónea para un relato tan íntimo como acogedor, valores más que necesarios para hacernos partícipes de la historia de amor en el centro de la historia.El filme de Kavaïté es una de esas pequeñas joyas europeas que en su momento lograron buena atención mediática gracias al circuito festivalero (premio a la Mejor Dirección en Sundance, presencia en Berlín), pero que con el paso del tiempo necesitan de un merecido reconocimiento.Coming of age de los que no hay que dejar pasar.El verano de Sangaile está disponible en Filmin.🤣 Quitándole la graciaCouch guy, o el tío del sofá, es el sobrenombre con el que se conoce estos días a un joven que se ha hecho famoso por un TikTok viral. En ese vídeo, su novia Lauren intentaba darle una sorpresa yendo a verle a la universidad.¿Y por qué se hizo viral? Por la reacción del chico al ver a su novia. Su lenguaje corporal, y los movimientos que hace en los momentos previos a verla, hicieron saltar todas las alarmas de *cientos de miles* de usuarios.Un vistazo a la sección de comentarios del TikTok original ofrece una idea del fenómeno tan bestia en el que se ha convertido el vídeo:“Bandera roja🚩🚩🚩 no se ha levantado no ha saltado por la ventana de la emoción”, escribió @t00kapack. Su comentario acumula 216,000 likes.“Las chicas parecen sospechosas, los chicos parecen estar disfrutando, el novio pinta asustado. 😅😅😅 Hermana… por favor, haz preguntas”. escribió @slothbakka. 396,000 likes.“El bro está en el sofá con otras tres chicas”, escribió @cocainecat6969. 619,000 likes.La retahíla de comentarios alcanzaron tal punto de toxicidad que Lauren se vio obligada a responder a los que ponían en duda su noviazgo:“Me rompe el corazón que la gente pueda ver un momento especial y traigan tanta negatividad. Por favor, pensad antes de asumir algo sobre mi relación. En cuanto al comentario sobre el teléfono, el teléfono estaba sobre su regazo :) ¡Pero gracias por la preocupación! Y no, no estoy negándome a ver nada ❤️”, escribió Lauren. 274,000 likes.Con ‘el comentario del teléfono’, Lauren se refiere a los movimientos de manos que su novio hace con un teléfono antes de abrazarse a ella. Hay teorías de todos los colores sobre de quién es ese teléfono —o quién lo tenía en primer lugar.La versión más extendida es que la chica a su izquierda tenía el teléfono del novio y acaba devolviéndoselo cuando ve que la novia va camino de saludarlo.Lauren llegó a publicar varios vídeos en respuesta a las distintas narrativas que se habían construido en torno al vídeo inicial. Incluso su novio se abrió un TikTok propio para poner fin a la especulación, pero eso no ha frenado el fenómeno. En absolutoLa viralidad de couch guy se ha traducido en miles de vídeos que analizan el TikTok original hasta la saciedad (tienes ejemplos aquí y aquí). También hay memes (aquí y aquí) y versiones alternativas (aquí, aquí y aquí).Los mejores TikTok de toda esta movida son los que juegan con el hecho de que estemos hablando de couch guy en nuestro día a día como si el debate sobre si de verdad el tipo es un capullo o no nos debiera importar.Mis favoritos del género son este y este.Kalhan Rosenblatt tiene un artículo muy interesante ahondando en el fenómeno detectivesco de TikTok que puede llegar a tener repercusiones tan negativas para los protagonistas de estas historias como couch guy.En otro orden de cosas, este jueves estuve charlando con Marcelo Madrigal, especialista en redes sociales y los bajos fondos de internet, sobre las últimas revelaciones de Facebook y la distopía que ya estamos viviendo por las ciberguerras geopolíticas entre Rusia, China y EE. UU., entre otros.Puedes ver la entrevista completa aquí.Y en mi última entrega de Solo en América hablo sobre la restrictiva ley del aborto de Texas que premia con 10,000 dólares a quienes denuncien un aborto.Puedes ver el vídeo completo aquí.Hasta la semana que viene, This is a public episode.

By Walt HickeyWelcome to the Numlock Sunday edition.This week, I spoke to Sarah Frier, the author of No Filter: The Inside Story of Instagram. The past two weeks has revealed a great deal of information about how Instagram and Facebook operate thanks for the most part to a trove of documents published by The Wall Street Journal. Sarah's covered the inner workings of Instagram and its tenuous relationship with Facebook for a long time, and with her book now coming out in paperback this week I wanted to talk to her about what we've just learned, how Facebook got more powerful in the pandemic, what we've always known about Facebook, and how deep into this company's culture this goes. Sarah can be found at Bloomberg where she runs the big tech team, she's on Twitter and the book No Filter is available wherever books are sold. This interview has been condensed and edited. Sarah you are the author of No Filter: The Inside Story of Instagram, that this week is coming out in paperback. Can you tell us a little bit about the book?No Filter is the first book to give the behind-the-scenes story of how Instagram came to be so powerful, have so much of a hold over our culture, over our economy, over our sense of self. I think that the paperback comes out at a time that the app has just become even more relevant. You would think that an app that was about measuring us socially and sharing our experiences would maybe dwindle during a deadly pandemic that forces us to stay inside, but in fact, when we remained at home, we scrolled more, and we shared more. Some of the in-person stuff we were doing became on Instagram and some of the small businesses that were trying to figure out how to sell stuff with their doors closed shifted to Instagram.It's just become an even more relevant story today. I know I'm biased, but with the book, what I try to do is I didn't want to just tell the corporate story. I wanted to tell the story of how those internal decisions affected us on the outside, changed our culture, changed our world. And hopefully people who read it will feel that way.I really enjoyed the cultural parts. I enjoyed the rise of influencer culture and how kind of cultivated that all was. To your point, that has only gotten more significant in the past year.There's been a couple of recent revelations about Facebook and Instagram in particular that echo some of the stuff that you wrote about. Do you want to talk a little bit about what the past two or three weeks have been for Facebook and Instagram?Oh, my goodness. They've had to reckon with some truths here from the Wall Street Journal. They had an incredible leak of documents. They called them the Facebook Files, and they just were probably very painful if you're a Facebook employee because these are the stories that they've tried to tamp down on. When Congressmen and women have asked Facebook, "Is Instagram harmful for teens?" Their response is always, "Oh, the research is mixed." Well, this shows definitively in their own internal research that, yes, they know that it's harmful for teen body image for girls and boys.The Journal had several parts of the investigation, some of them have to do with Facebook Inc. One really uncovered how the company does not have appropriate staff in countries where it's in languages where it just simply doesn't have people to moderate that content. This is a product used by more than 3 billion people around the world, and when you consider that fact, it's more than half of the world's internet connected population.These products have just enormous impact and they're all controlled by a single person who doesn't want us to think anything badly about them. And so, they consistently obfuscate the truth. They make sure that there's nothing out there that could be negative for Facebook or Instagram. And in doing so, are totally disingenuous because of course there's stuff that is real awful that is happening on their platforms.On that note, one thing I really liked about your book, was that it was kind of very personal, describing the relationship between Kevin Systrom and Mark Zuckerberg. And at the time, it can kind of be like, "Oh, is this just drama between two dudes who are very powerful?" But to your point, it is one person who controls this entire ecosystem. Do you want to get into that?Well, I think it's a huge challenge for Facebook, that they have all the voting power, all of the control, centered in this one person who has not surrounded himself with anyone that will critique him. He just simply isn't trusted anymore. If you're using Facebook, you've been lied to so many times or you've been misled so many times, that it's simply is not a product that you can trust, at least not under Mark Zuckerberg's leadership.I think that this company has only given him more power over time. I think that in the Instagram story, you'll see that he is working to consolidate power at Facebook, taking more control over the future of Instagram, more control over the future of WhatsApp, and Oculus and integrating that into the core product. And Facebook Inc is not as important as Facebook, the Social Network. I mean, that's really the core of it all. That's his brainchild that he wants to survive.It's just incredible how the company is attempting to pretend like it doesn't do anything wrong. I was talking with some colleagues the other day, and we were talking about the fact that Facebook doesn't just come out and say, "Listen, the reason we do it this way is because we're a business and we need to money. And if we did it the way you're saying we should do it, well, that might be better for our users, but we lose a ton of money."Right.That would be honest.The tobacco companies did that for years. And it's a viable, straightforward argument in the United States. There is something said for, "I have a fiduciary responsibility to my shareholders to maximize profit, which is why I'm making the decisions that I'm making."Facebook has never said that, ever.It's always like, "No, it's good."They're saying, "Listen, we have the interests of our users, first and foremost. Privacy is at the foundation of our business. Wellbeing, we are making incredible investments." All of these things, over and over and over become these lines in PR. But ultimately, yeah, Facebook is a business and their main objective is to grow.Can you get into their growth because even in the past year, it's been substantial since we last chatted?With the pandemic, there were fewer things that you could do in person, whether that was shopping or going to a concert or hanging out with your friends. Facebook, and especially Instagram, took advantage of that shift and moved a lot of our offline activity online, especially in the case of small businesses. Now they're leaning hard into content creators. I think that they're trying to make this trend exist beyond the pandemic, whenever that may end. That's the case with all the tech companies. You saw Amazon get more powerful, you saw Google get more powerful, because these companies are now the infrastructure of our society. They're almost as crucial as any of the roads we use. It's just like, this is how we live, is through Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, Google, especially in a mode where we've been forced, virtually.To that end, what you're kind of describing there is getting utility-esque. Right? And we've seen some stuff from the FTC this year. What's kind of been going on, on that end, because it seems like they've been playing a little bit of tennis with the courts?Yes. So, what you're referring to is a monopoly claim from the FTC that Facebook has just way too much power over our social interactions. And so much so, that it is considered a monopoly. And that monopoly has been enriched by the purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp, purchases that the FTC considers to be anti-competitive.Because if you look at what internal documents show, and if you read, No Filter, of course, you will see that the reason that mark Zuckerberg buys Instagram is to quash a competitor.Really? The entire reason?Well, absolutely. I mean, he would rather own it than have someone else own it. He would like for Facebook to be somewhere in mobile. At the time, they didn't have really, a mobile strategy. And one of the things that points to this, there's an anecdote in my book where Instagram comes and joins Facebook HQ. The acquisition was announced for a billion dollars, and was the most anyone ever paid for a mobile app.And in the first weeks that they're there, the growth team at Facebook says, "I'm sorry, but we really can't help you grow until we find out if you are a threat to sharing on Facebook."Huh?So, they ran a study to see if Instagram was threatening Facebook. They were willing to let it wither, this incredible investment, if it was going to be a problem for Facebook down the road. And then you see that later, when Zuckerberg sees Instagram becoming more popular, really on that ramp to a billion users.It coincides with this time that we're all scrutinizing Facebook a lot more, after Donald Trump is elected president, the spread of misinformation on Facebook is scrutinized, violent live video, et cetera, et cetera, privacy scandals come about. And Zuckerberg is thinking, "The reason people may not be using Facebook so much is because they have this alternative, that we've been pumping resources into. So, maybe the problem is that we should be directing more attention from Instagram to Facebook."It's at the root of a lot of personal difficulties between the founders.It was jealousy.Seems like a fascinating way to run a business.Yeah, because he owns Instagram. Right? He owns this product that's incredibly successful and he doesn't want it to cannibalize. That's the word they use internally. He doesn't want it to cannibalize Facebook.Again, that sounds a little like buying rival businesses, in order to guarantee that they don't undermine me. That sounds extremely anticompetitive. Oh, you mean, buying something so that they won't compete with you, is anti-competitive? Yeah.That's the definition. But, the law is a little squishy on this. If you and I look at this and say, "Okay, is Instagram a part of Facebook strategy to quash competitors?" Of course, it is. They have a version of every competing product. They have reels to compete with TikTok, they have IGTV to compete with YouTube. They have highlights to compete with all sorts of stuff. There's this infrastructure of things. If you break down every product in Instagram, it correlates with something else outside. And Instagram's purpose within Facebook is really to be the product that brings in that audience. And compared to other products at Facebook, they're doing a much better job. That's about that longevity, that's about the continued domination of Facebook around the world.If I may. some of my favorite things in your book were just how initially Facebook was worried about Twitter. And they used Instagram to really kind of poach stuff away from Twitter. And I'm almost kind of wondering is Facebook the quarterback in this situation and they're using Instagram kind of like a lineman? Really just the thing that hits the threats, in order to preserve home base of Facebook?Yeah, I would say that, that's a pretty good interpretation because when you look at something like reels, do we need reels? Do people need that on Instagram? When Instagram still had its founders and they copied Snapchat stories, Snapchat was a threat for sure, especially among that younger demographic. But there was also a real reason that they needed to do it for their user base because people were incredibly anxious about posting on Instagram. And that anxiety was actually bad for growth. Because if you don't think that your life is worth posting about, you are going to post less. And when you look at Instagram, it's not going to be full of content from your friends who were also all anxious, it's going to be content from celebrities. And then you'll think, "Nobody hangs out here anymore." And the app dies. That was the thesis of why they did Instagram stories, so there would be some lower pressure way to post on Instagram. But when you think about reels, the reason for reels was, "Oh my God, everybody loves TikTok. We need reels." And then, you are Mark Zuckerberg solving a business problem. You're not Instagram solving a user problem.It seems like TikTok is really giving them a real run for their money. I know that Snapchat took a ding from the adaptation of stories, but is actually kind of still doing decently to this day. But TikTok really seems like it's been the first thing that really has kind of stolen Instagram's thunder, particularly in the past year.Well, I would say that TikTok, yes, in part, because Facebook is so determined to move in the same direction that TikTok is moving. One of the things that's interesting about Snapchat is they're trying to do things in their own unique way. It's a little quirky and it doesn't necessarily fit with what you expect every social network to be doing.But Instagram is kind of just hitting back with the same play. And I think that in that sense, you get an app that strays a little bit from its purpose. And when you think about what Instagram's purpose is now, it used to be very clear. There's a place where you go to share the highlights of your life, and make your life appear more beautiful and perfect than it actually is. And discover corners of society that maybe you didn't know about before.Now, you have reels, you have IGTV, you have regular posts, you have Explore, you have all of these different components of Instagram. You have direct messaging, which is combined with Facebook messenger. You have text posts, you have memes. It's just like, it's everything to everyone.And I think that that becomes difficult.That's really interesting. There's one thing that I wanted to talk about from your book that has to do kind of with the recent news, and that has to do with kind of teens using Facebook. A lot of what you cover in the book is just how development happened on the platform for a while, that really came from its user base. Like, teens came up with the idea of making Finstas and they had to find out — why are Finstas a thing?And then, I guess, I'm kind of curious, as we kind of saw with some of the recent revelations, this isn't really a particularly healthy platform for its users. Can you just expand on some of the stuff that you wrote about in the book when it came to youth users, and then how that kind of reflects on some of the things that we've seen in the past two weeks?Yeah, I talked a little bit about this, about the intense anxiety for posting on Instagram and why that was bad. But Instagram didn't really look into this, in any formal way until around 2015. And when they did, they heard a lot from teens about how hard it was on them to keep up appearances on Instagram. And teens had all sorts of strategies. Some would just delete their entire grid of photos every month and post a new one, or they would try to find a way to, as you said, have a fake Instagram, which is really their real Instagram. And, of course, they use things like filters for their faces to make themselves appear more attractive, get rid of their acne, whiten their teeth, whatever the case may be.The way that Instagram learned a lot more about teens is they would have this Thursday teen observation, where they would have a bunch of product people, sometimes including Instagram's CEO, sitting at this table. And there was this one way mirror and the teens are on the other side discussing the new products that Instagram is building. And they often don't know that it's Instagram building them. But all the things that they're saying about it are being observed by this internal team drinking a bottle of wine on a Thursday night.That's wild.And that's how the product development works at Facebook. I mean, there's a lot of focus grouping, a lot of observation. The goal isn't like, "Let's make sure this is a product that's healthy for our users.", as much as it's, "Are people going to use this? Is it going to increase their time spent on the platform? Is it going to increase engagement with Instagram? Is it going to improve our retention?" All of those things.Remind me — I think that some of the things that came out — were there opportunities to install fixes, whether it was on Facebook or Instagram, I don't recall which. But that got shut down because engagement did not go up.Right. If there is a solution to some wellbeing problem that also dings at engagement, it's really just not going to work. I mean, look what they did, they were going to get rid of likes, and they'll say that they did, but the likes still exist. You can just hide them. And that's the way that they've done a lot of their wellbeing initiatives. For example, if you want to not see all of the comments that are calling you a slut, you just mute the word, slut. Right?Oh, God.But that doesn't mean that you're not getting those comments. And if you're being attacked, you kind of want to see it. I think that, that's the problem with likes too. If you're hiding your likes, but you're still getting that score every day on your photos it's like telling someone, "You can have a test, but we're not going to show you the grade, if you don't want to see it." Everyone wants to see what grade they got on the test. It's irresistible.And it's not just the likes. It's the followers, it's the comments, it's the views on your stories, the order of people who view your story, everything gets obsessive. You can turn your account into a business account and see, "Oh, I have an audience that is more heavily female and concentrated in Brazil. And they look at my profile in between the hours of 4:00 and 6:00 PM most." If you are a young person in the world, you can know that much about what people think about you. It's not a real measure of how relevant or popular or interesting or exciting your life is. It is a measure of how well you're playing the game.You're in charge of big tech coverage at Bloomberg. In the end of September, they had an editorial that basically said, "Instagram is no place for kids." But also, stop me if they canceled this, but Facebook is literally building an Instagram for kids. [Ed note: the day after we recorded this they did in fact delay it] At a certain point, are they going to have an obligation under any of the online protection acts that we have for children who use the internet? At what point does this become more of a liability for them than anything else?Well, that is certainly something that everyone in Washington is up in arms about, on both sides of the aisle. We've seen a lot of screaming matches, a lot of strongly worded emails. The question is can you stop them from doing it? I don't really think that you can.They did roll out Messenger Kids. And that, of course, had a lot of similar concerns and privacy issues. But the product has been relatively successful. We haven't gotten strong numbers, but it does exist and it is used. I think Instagram, it's hard to make an Instagram for kids that doesn't use tons of images of children in it. Right? Instagram is about images.So, I'm curious to see what that product looks like. The thesis is that kids use Instagram no matter what. So, we want to make a safe space for them. But Instagram hasn't made a very strong effort to root out the under-13 audience on Instagram. They've made a few steps towards better age verification, but it's really easy to find nine year olds hanging out on Instagram and just using it the way we all use it.It sounds a little bit like what the tobacco industry had to deal with. Again, underage smoking was not considered a very good thing. It happened, absolutely. And they got dinged for not doing enough to stop it. And it wasn't particularly healthy for anyone involved in it.That, though, is a very highly regulated industry now. And this social media industry, I mean, how do you even regulate it? It's speech by people. If you are the government and you say, "Well, we don't want Facebook to show anyone anti-vaccine misinformation." Well, then you have to define that. It just gets really complicated. In that category, of course, the science has changed over the course of many months.It's a tricky problem to solve. What I hope happens when people read the book is they understand the infrastructure of these products, the motivations of these executives, the grow-at-all-costs mentality at Facebook, and are able to make healthier decisions for themselves, informed decisions about how they want to use the products with some level of intention. And maybe that's a way to help it be healthier.All right. So, to make an informed decision, you have got to be informed and the book is No Filter. It won a bunch of best book awards last year, right? Like NPR, the Economist, I think McKinsey, rightIt was the Financial Times McKinsey Business Book of the Year, which was very exciting!Very cool! And it's out in paperback now, and folks can get it anywhere.Anywhere. Anywhere books are sold, eBooks, audio books, it's there,Sick. And then where can folks find you?I am on Twitter and Instagram and everywhere that people are on the internet these days.If you have anything you'd like to see in this Sunday special, shoot me an email.

Aujourd'hui, je te parle de l'application Messenger Kids qui une version de messenger cette messagerie instantanée liée à Facebook, mais pour les enfants. -- Pour les notes complètes de l'épisode, les transcriptions ou pour me joindre: Messenger Kids ( https://santro.show/655 )

A bipartisan group of 44 attorneys general has written to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging him to drop company plans for a version of Instagram for children under the age of 13, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced Monday.The attorneys general in the letter said they are concerned about social media's effects on the physical and emotional well-being of children, the potential for increased cyberbullying, possible vulnerability to online predators, and what they called Facebook's "checkered record" in protecting children on its platforms."It appears that Facebook is not responding to a need, but instead creating one, as this platform appeals primarily to children who otherwise do not or would not have an Instagram account," said the letter, signed by the attorneys general of 40 states, the District of Columbia and three U.S. territories.Children under 13 are technically not allowed to use the Instagram app in its current form due to federal privacy regulations. But Facebook in March confirmed a report by Buzzfeed News, saying it is "exploring a parent-controlled experience" on Instagram."It's shameful that Facebook is ignoring the very real threat that social media poses to the safety and well-being of young children in an attempt to profit off of a vulnerable segment of our population," Healey said in a statement.Facebook in a statement Monday said it is exploring Instagram for kids to give parents more control over what children who are already online are exposed to, will make every effort to protect children, and will not show advertising on the platform."We are developing these experiences in consultation with experts in child development, child safety and mental health, and privacy advocates," the company said. "We also look forward to working with legislators and regulators, including the nation's attorneys general."Facebook also pointed out that it is a founding sponsor of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, launched in March to study the effects of digital technology on kids' "brains, bodies, and behaviours."The effort of the attorneys general is backed by Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood."Facebook faces a critical choice: will they plow ahead with their ill-conceived plan to ensnare young children, or will they listen to the growing chorus of parents, experts, advocates, lawmakers and regulators who are telling them that an Instagram kids' site will undermine young children's healthy development and right to privacy?" Executive Director Josh Golin said in a statement.Facebook faced similar criticism in 2017 when it launched the Messenger Kids app, touted as a way for children to chat with family members and friends approved by parents.

Instagram indicó que trabaja en una versión centrada en imágenes para niños menores de 13 años de edad con control parental.El anuncio, que confirma un informe de BuzzFeed News, se produce en medio de preocupaciones sobre la dificultad para mantener a los menores alejados de los peligros que implican las redes sociales.Adam Mosseri, jefe de esta red social propiedad de Facebook, dijo en Twitter la noche del jueves que “los niños preguntan cada vez más a sus padres si pueden unirse a aplicaciones que les ayuden a mantenerse al día con sus amigos”.“Estamos explorando una versión de Instagram en la que los padres tengan el control, como hicimos con Messenger Kids”, añadió.Los tuits de Mosseri recibieron respuestas de preocupación sobre el acoso o contenidos inapropiados y la permanente lucha de las redes contra ese tipo de abusos.“No solo damos cosas a los niños porque ellos lo quieren”, dice una respuesta a Mosseri de “una mamá”.“No damos a los niños herramientas peligrosas con las que jugar cuando los adultos no han descifrado aún cómo hacer que esas herramientas sean seguras”, agregó.Instagram, al igual que su casa matriz Facebook, solo permite abrir cuentas a mayores de 13 años de edad, pero verificar la edad en Internet es un desafío.Con más de 1.000 millones de usuarios, Instagram dio a conocer esta semana una tecnología destinada para evitar que los niños abran cuentas y que los adultos contacten a usuarios menores que no conozcan.Además, la red social indicó que introducirá una nueva función para evitar que los adultos envíen mensajes a personas menores de 18 años de edad que no sean sus seguidores.Asimismo, Instagram busca formas de dificultar a los adultos que hayan exhibido un “comportamiento potencialmente sospechoso” que interactúen con adolescentes.

Episode 557 : En octobre 2018, à l’occasion de l’épisode numéro 52 de ce podcast, nous abordons déjà la question des enfants sur les réseaux sociaux.On s’intéressait à l’époque à quels étaient les usages du Web et des réseaux chez ses enfants de moins de 13 ans.Les réseaux sociaux sont pourtant complètement interdit aux enfants de moins de 13 ans.Cependant de nombreux enfants trichent sur leur âge et déboulent sur les réseaux sociaux.On voit que Facebook s’intéresse pourtant à cette catégorie d’âge. On va voir pourquoi !Quelques ChiffresSelon un Enquête BBC plus des trois quarts des jeunes enfants entre 10 et 12 utilisent au moins un réseau de médias sociaux.87 % des enfants de 12 ans possèdent leur propre smartphone.Les chiffres alarmant de l’association e-enface48% des enfants entre 8 et 17 ans sont connectés sur Facebook.Seulement 55% des jeunes discutent avec leurs parents de ce qu’ils font sur Facebook.92% des jeunes de 8 - 17 ans utilisent leur vraie identité sur Facebook et livrent des informations personnelles.Quel réseau ?Numéro 1 YouTubeC’est l’application la plus utilisée par les moins de 13 ans, 60 % d’entre eux utilisent YouTube.Numéro 2 Snapchat43 % des moins de 13 ans sont sur Snapchat. Les enfants adorent jouer avec les filtres. Numéro 3 WhatsApp39,8 % des moins de 13 ans en WhatsApp.Lien avec les parents et les adultes souvent. Discussion avec les amis.Numéro 4 TikTok39,2 % des moins de 13 ans.KidstagramLe développement de ce Kidstagram sera supervisé par Adam Mosseri, le big boss d'Instagram, et dirigé par Pavni Diwanji, qui a rejoint Facebook en décembre. Auparavant, Diwanji travaillait chez Google, où elle supervisait les produits destinés aux enfants, notamment YouTube Kids.—La politique actuelle d'Instagram interdit aux enfants de moins de 13 ans d'utiliser le service.Récemment, Adam Mosseri expliquait que la société savait que «de plus en plus d'enfants» souhaitaient utiliser des applications comme Instagram et que c'était un défi de vérifier leur âge.Selon lui une partie de la solution consiste à créer une version d'Instagram pour les jeunes ou les enfants où les parents ont la transparence ou le contrôle. C'est l'une des choses que nous explorons. Avoir une version séparée pour les enfants permettrait aux jeunes utilisateurs d'interagir avec des amis sur une plate-forme similaire à celle de leurs parents, sans les exposer aux dangers potentiels des prédateurs.—Une annonce préoccupante selon certains chercheursC’est notamment ce que pense Priya Kumar, chercheuse à l'Université du Maryland.Elle étudie la façon dont les médias sociaux affectent les familles.Selon elle, une version d'Instagram pour les enfants est un moyen pour Facebook d'accrocher les jeunes et de normaliser l'idée «que les connexions sociales existent pour être monétisées»Par ailleurs, selon ses recherches les enfants qui utilisent YouTube Kids migrent souvent vers la principale plate-forme YouTube, ce qui est une aubaine pour l'entreprise et préoccupant pour les parents.«Ce n'est pas parce que vous avez une plate-forme pour les enfants que les enfants vont y rester.»—Le Groupe Facebook n’en est pas à ses premiers essaisEn 2017, le Groupe Facebook lance Messenger Kids, un produit de chat destiné aux enfants de 6 à 12 ans. Aujourd’hui, Messenger Kids compte quelque 7 millions d'utilisateurs actifs par mois , dans 70 pays.A l’époque, un groupe de plus de 95 défenseurs de la santé des enfants avait envoyé une lettre à Facebook lui demandant d'arrêter le produit. Selon eux, l'utilisation excessive des médias sociaux étant nocive pour les enfants.Facebook avait répondu en expliquant qu’un éventail d'experts avait été consulté pour développer Messenger Kids. On apprendra plus tard que l'entreprise entretenait une relation financière avec la plupart des personnes et organisations qui avaient été consulté sur le sujet.—En 2019, Messenger Kids se retrouve face à un énorme bug de confidentialitéun bug dans Messenger Kids permettait aux enfants de rejoindre des groupes avec des inconnus.Ce qui signifie que des milliers d'enfants ont été laissés dans des discussions avec des utilisateurs non autorisés par les filtres parentaux. C’est grave !—Au coeur des inquiétudes, les questions de cyber harcèlementLes utilisateurs d'Instagram sont déjà confrontés à des problèmes d'intimidation et de harcèlement. Instagram se veut proactif sur le sujet. Cette semaine, Instagram a par exemple lancé de nouveaux outils pour mieux protéger les jeunes utilisateurs , y compris une nouvelle restriction qui empêche les adultes d'envoyer des messages aux adolescents qui ne les suivent pas.. . .Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

Tech parents love their children more than they love their customers: Children of Big Tech entrepreneurs from eBay, Apple, Uber and Google attend Waldorf schools – where technology is not allowed on campus or in classrooms. Waldorf schools teach complicated concepts like the Sciences and math using story telling, hands-on activities and play. Their Wikipedia page says, “The overarching goal is to develop free, morally responsible, and integrated individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence.” This is an excerpt from a The Times article written by British political journalist Alice Thomson, “Melinda Gates' children did not have smart phones until they turned 14 and only used computer in the kitchen. Her husband Bill spends hours in his office reading books. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg says he wants his daughters to read Dr. Seuss and play outside rather than use Messenger Kids. Even Steve Jobs strictly limited his children's use of technology at home. The more money you can make out of the tech industry, the more you appear to shield your family from its effects.” Read more HERE.

The world around us is forever evolving, changing, and growing. Technology has most definitely accelerated this for our generation in the last few years.  As much as we love new experiences, something has to be said about the feelings of nostalgia and the long to relive feelings, emotions, and long-gone moments from our childhood.  But what if you could combine the two?!?! Today we here to discuss a new initiative that is just that. If you're a parent who was part of an old school book club, and or still part of a traditional book club today and would love to introduce the concept and benefits to your children then this chat is for you. You may have heard that Messenger by Facebook recently launched Messenger Kids, a new and free video chat and messaging app that helps kids connect with friends and family in a fun, parent-controlled space. To help parents encourage their kids to engage in reading, Booktopia has teamed up with Messenger Kids – to show parents how to set up and run a successful virtual kid's book club. To help talk to us about this today we welcome our special guest Sarah McDuling, Booktopia, Category Manager Kids & Young Adult Books  We ask Sarah questions including: What are the benefits of a virtual book club?  Why do you believe it is so important to instil a love of books for children in this digital age?  What do you see the advantages are of kids reading? Why do you think that online book clubs will be sticking around for the better?  Why do you think it's important to integrate reading into kid's social time? So how does Messenger Kids and Booktopia work together to deliver a virtual kids book club online? How can parents get their kids involved? Typically bookclubs meet every month or two.

Facebook has announced new parental controls on Messenger Kids. Messenger Kids, a messaging app for children under 13 years old, was first introduced in 2017 as a child-friendly version of Facebook's Messenger app. Parents can set up their children's account and oversee who the latter can communicate with. Children can use the app to chat, video call, and share photos and videos with parent-approved contacts. Messenger Kids contains age-appropriate stickers, masks, and drawing tools to help children decorate their content and express themselves digitally. According to Facebook, the updates were rolled out after the company had found a glitch on Messenger Kids that let children join group chats with contacts their parents had not approved. With the updates, parents can now view their children's contacts and chat history, as well as view and delete media sent and received by their children. Parents can now also see a list of all the accounts their children blocked or unblocked. In addition, they can see all the devices their children use Messenger Kids on and remotely log them out of any device. Parents can also download a copy of their children's Messenger Kids information, which includes a contact list and media exchanged through the app. Larry Magid, a member of Facebook's Safety Security Board, commended the app improvements. He said that they will help children advance their digital literacy skills while having fun, and they can also keep parents in the loop about how their children use Messenger Kids. Facebook assured parents that Messenger Kids prioritizes children's safety and urged parents to review and talk about the updates with their children.

Facebook releases some new tools in the Messenger Kids app. Twitter announces new rules for identifying manipulated content. YouTube reminds users how they regulate content as the US political scene heats up for our 2020 Elections. The Chill Business Journey turns 1!

Today’s episode is about Facebook Messenger Kids - a kids’ version of Facebook’s chat app, Messenger, making Facebook the first of the major social networks to put out a social media app specifically for children under 13.  

Épisode 235 : Bienvenue dans les Summer Sessions du Super Daily ! Tout l’été on vous embarque dans notre tournée des plages avec un épisode à écouter chaque semaine en sirotant un cocktail les pieds dans le sables. On fait le tour de l'actualité social media ! Cette semaine on parle de fake influenceurs, de Snapchat, du "droit voisin" adopté par la France, du bad buzz de Messenger Kids et des tétons sur Instagram ! Les fake influenceurs coutent cher aux marques Le phénomène des « fake influenceurs » est déjà bien identifié mais pourtant ceux-ci continuent de pululer sur les réseaux et notamment sur Instagram. Et les premières touchées par ce fléau des temps modernes sont les marques. Une récente étude menée par la société de cybersécurité Cheq et l’Université de Baltiomore nous apprend que ce sont près d’1,3 milliard de dollars qui sont partis en fumée pour des faux compteurs de likes et de followers. Le professeur et économiste Roberto Cavazos a donc interrogé 800 marques. Il a pu découvrir que 2/3 d’entre elles ont déjà collaboré par le passé avec des influenceurs frauduleux (achats de faux likes, de faux commentaires, de faux abonnés…). Il a ensuite analysé le profil de 10 000 influenceurs et a découvert que 25% des abonnés de ces comptes étaient en réalité de faux profils. Il estime donc que 50% des posts sponsorisés payés par les marques ont un taux d’engagement biaisé. — L’étude constate aussi que certains influenceurs créaient de faux contenus sponsorisés dans le but de « duper les marques » en leur faisant croire que leurs posts avaient déjà fait leurs preuves par le passé et ainsi, les convaincre de signer de futures collaborations. — En Californie, un marchand de glace a décidé de s’opposer à la course aux likes en faisant payer double aux influenceurs.  Joe Nicchi le patron de cvtsoftserve (une boite de camion glace) en avait marre que certains influenceurs lui proposent de payer leur glace avec une photo partagée sur Instagram. Snapchat reprend des couleurs Après avoir changé de design en 2017 Snapchat avait eu une année 2018 compliqué. La plateforme avait même perdu des utilisateurs ! Mais la plateforme a sorti cet été son bilan du deuxième trimestre 2019 et les chiffres sont ultra positifs C’est simple en trois mois Snapchat a gagné 13 millions d’utilisateurs quotidien en plus ! Il n’y a jamais eu autant d’utilisateurs quotidien de Snapchat ! 203 millions ! Avec sa faible croissance depuis 2017 Snapchat dépasse ses prévisions initiales qui étaient de 191 millions d’utilisateurs quotidien ! On sait notamment que le Gender Swap a provoqué beaucoup de téléchargement de l’application ! Filtre pour se transformer en femme ou en homme ! Les nouveaux revenus publicitaires de l’application que ce soit avec les publicités de 6 secondes que les utilisateurs ne peuvent pas passer ou avec de la réalité augmentée directement sponsorisée, les revenus de Snapchat Inc. se portent bien. L’action Snapchat a vu une hausse de 12%. Le chiffre d’affaire de Snapchat s’élève aujourd’hui à 388 millions de dollars La France adopte le « droit voisin » Le Parlement français a adopté un "droit voisin" pour les éditeurs et agences de presse. Avec ce droit voisin, les plus grands acteurs du numérique comme Google ou Facebook ont pour devoir de rémunérer les éditeurs de presse lorsqu’ils partagent des articles de presse. Comme par exemple sur le service Google News. Entre 250 et 320 millions d’euros de pertes par an pour la presse en droit publicitaire. L’instauration de ce droit voisin reprend les prérogatives de l’article 15 de la directive européenne sur les droits d’auteur.La France est le premier pays de l’UE à appliquer cette directive européenne. Beaucoup de groupements d’éditeurs craignent que cette législation profite en premier lieu aux plus gros éditeurs. Il va y avoir des négociations avec les grands acteurs comme Google qui vont être bien tendues dans les prochaines semaines. Google avait sévèrement riposté pour des cas similaires et notamment en Espagne. Google avait purement et simplement fermé Google News en Espagne lorsque le gouvernement souhaitait faire payer une taxe sur le partage des articles Messenger Kids le Bad Buzz Peut-être que vous laissez vos enfants aller sur les réseaux sociaux mais pour avoir un peu de contrôle vous ne leurs autorisez que les réseaux dédiés au enfants comme Messenger Kids. Messenger Kids c’est la possibilité de donner accès à ses enfants à une messagerie tout en contrôlant toutes les personnes qui peuvent parler avec votre enfant. Le principe : c’est vous qui autorisez ou non un utilisateur à parler, échanger avec votre enfants sur cette messagerie. Malheureusement il y a eu un petit problème qui a été détecté cet été. Cette demande d’autorisation pouvait être contourné. Et oui, il y avait une faille dans ce joli monde de bisounours ! Ça aurait été trop simple ! Si votre enfant participait par exemple à une conversation groupée et bien quelqu’un que vous n’aviez pas forcément autorisé à être en contact avec votre enfant pouvait être invité dans cette conversation groupée et échanger librement avec votre enfant ! Messenger a du coup décidé de supprimer les conversations groupées de sa messagerie pour enfant et a prévenu les parents ! Donc normalement tout est bon maintenant, enfin normalement… Oui aux tétons sur Instagram @taboob_official Selon les règles d’Instagram, les contenus « violents, nus, partiellement nus, discriminatoires, illégaux, haineux, pornographiques ou sexuellement suggestifs » sont interdits. Cependant, le sein masculin ne pose aucun problème pour le réseau social, tandis que celui des femmes, oui. Et c’est ce que tente de dénoncer le compte Taboob_official. Taboob est un compte Instagram créé par deux Belges, Jasper Declercq et Noortje Palmers, qui met à l’honneur la poitrine féminine, tout en se jouant de la censure. Ils ont eu l’idée de transformer des poitrines féminines en œuvre d’art en les décorant, les recouvrant de diverses choses comme des bonbons ou des ficelles… Une oeuvre éphémère à découvrir rapidement avant qu’Instagram ne s’en rende compte. . . .

Как Nintendo втихую меняет джойконы всем пожаловавшимся (но только в США). Завтракаст ненавидит Android целых 5 минут! Apple купила бизнес 5G-модемов у Intel, а еще компания якобы откажется от неудачных клавиатур, которые с 2016 года ставила в все свои макбуки. Google показала первый промо-ролик Google Pixel 4. Facebook случайно позволял добавлять кого угодно в специальные чаты только для детей в Messenger Kids. Статья о том, почему штраф в $5 млрд для Facebook – полная фигня. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/07/22/facebook-vs-feds-inside-story-multi-billion-dollar-tech-giants-privacy-war-with-washington/ GitHub блокирует пользователей из Ирана, Крыма и прочих санкционных стран, так как является американской компанией.

In December, when Facebook launched Messenger Kids, an app for pre-teens and children as young as 6, the company stressed that it had worked closely with leading experts in order to safeguard younger users. What Facebook didn't say is that many of those experts had received funding from Facebook. Equally notable are the experts Facebook did not consult.

The call to remove Messenger Kids app and Uber Bike is coming  In this episode, the new Messenger Kids app from Facebook and why child development advocates are calling for it to be discontinued, Robots could soon be issuing speeding tickets and Uber is set to launch a new bike sharing service – the Uber Bike.   Show Notes:  We’ve heard about concern about AI taking over jobs in many different sectors, but one that we don’t often hear about is policing. It looks like police officers may be next in line to see certain tasks replaced by AI.   In January, Ford filed a US patent application for self-driving police cars that could someday replace traffic officers.  For some this may sound strange but technologies such as cameras for surveillance are already being used around the world to collect and report on certain activities.   To take this a step further, Dubai comes to mind, they have recently unveiled their first robot police officer, and plan for these AI officers to make up a quarter of their police force by 2030.  The reason being cited for this move of automating police tasks such as issuing tickets for speeding or failing to stop at a stop sign is that it can free up time for human police officers so that they can perform other duties.  Uber Bike  Uber is planning to launch a bike-sharing service soon in partnership with JUMP. JUMP is a startup that recently received the first and only permit to operate dockless bike-sharing in San Francisco.   This new service is called Uber Bike. Uber customers will be able to book JUMP bikes within the Uber app. Just to be clear, the bikes will not be brought to people. Instead, riders are responsible for going to the location of the bike.  Messenger Kids app  More than a dozen organizations and about 100 health experts sent a letter to Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg saying the new chat app Messenger Kids will likely damage a child's healthy development.  The letter states: "Raising children in our new digital age is difficult enough. We ask that you do not use Facebook's enormous reach and influence to make it even harder."  The experts argue that younger children are not ready to have social media accounts.  TechBytes:  Facebook’s daily active user base in the U.S. and Canada fell for the first time ever in the fourth quarter, dropping to 184 million from 185 million in the previous quarter.  Overall, Facebook’s daily active user audience was up 32 million people in Q4. But it was the smallest quarter-over-quarter increase in two years.  It looks like Microsoft will be coming out with its Edge browser for the iPad soon. The company announced that it will be coming out with its beta form this month.   It looks like the browser will be available for the iPad ahead of a version for Android tablets. Based on the iPhone test period, an official release can probably be expected in March.  Apple is working on three new iPhones for this year, one will be a big-screen model that will be cheaper than the iPhone X. The tech giant is said to have plans to develop an iPhone that comes with a 6.1-inch TFT LCD display. That device will reportedly be the cheapest of the new Apple smartphones this year and will have the design of the iPhone X, featuring an edge-to-edge display and "notch" at the top of the screen. 

A coalition of 97 child health advocates sent a letter to Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday asking him to discontinue Messenger Kids, a new advertising-free Facebook app targeted at 6-to-12-year olds. Advocates say the app likely will undermine healthy childhood development for preschool and elementary-school-aged kids by increasing the amount of time they spend with digital devices.

She has spoken extensively on the ways that communications policy impacts people of color and regularly appears in outlets such as Fast Company, Fortune, The Root and the Guardian to highlight NHMC's policy and advocacy efforts. Carmen coordinates organizational responses to regulatory proposals that threaten to widen the digital divide and has co-authored several notable filings for Voices for Internet Freedom highlighting the importance of Net Neutrality and the Lifeline program for communities of color. In 2017, Carmen was the architect of Freedom of Information Act requests that compelled the FCC to release more than 50,000 consumer complaints, previously undisclosed, that drew renewed attention to the importance of preserving the 2015 Open Internet Order. Carmen also supervises NHMC's legal fellowship program, which provides an opportunity for select students throughout the country to experience media, technology, and telecommunications law and advocacy. Before joining NHMC, Carmen worked at the Department of Justice and assisted in Medicare fraud investigations, including a False Claims Act case that resulted in the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars. She also worked at the DOJ Office of Legislative Affairs on large document requests received from congressional oversight committees. Carmen, a native of Puerto Rico, earned her J.D. from Villanova University School of Law and her B.A. cum laude from New York University.

Resources National Hispanic Media Coalition Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil News Roundup Despite deeply flawed public record, FCC still plans net neutrality repeal The FCC is poised to repeal its net neutrality rules this Thursday despite tens of thousands of fake or fraudulent comments in the record. Both Democratic FCC Commissioners, several members of Congress, and protesters have called on the FCC to delay repealing the rules. However, Chairman Ajit Pai and his Republican colleagues are planning to overturn the rules anyway. The FCC on Monday announced a so-called framework under which it and the FTC would ostensibly work in partnership to weed out bad actors on the internet. However, this is more likely to be political maneuvering by the two agencies' Republican leadership, since FTC Commissioner Terrell McSweeney wrote a widely-read op-ed in Quartz last week stating that the FTC does not have the expertise to regulate internet service providers. Additionally, Brian Fung noted in the Washington Post that a case that's currently pending in the 9th Circuit could restrict those who wish to file grievances against their internet service providers even further. In FTC v. AT&T Mobility, the court will decide, within days, whether a parent corporate entity can escape being classified as a common carrier even if one or more of its smaller subsidiaries is classified as such. This is important because the FTC does not have jurisdiction over common carriers--only the FCC does. So if the court defines AT&T as a common carrier, the notion that the FTC would have any kind of authority to enforce net neutrality principles against ISPs, is a joke, basically--since AT&T would be able to claim an exemption from FTC enforcement based on the fact that its subsidiary is classified as a common carrier. And, as Brian explains, overturning the net neutrality rules would effectively remove AT&T from the FCC's common carrier definition. Taken together, a decision in the 9th circuit that's favorable to AT&T, combined with the FCC overturning the net neutrality rules, would make it a great week for AT&T, as it would mean that the company isn't subject to regulation by either agency. House Democrats, including Elijah Cummings, are calling on the Government Accountability Office to investigate the fake comments. Former National Security Officials say Trump voter database could be hacked In an amicus brief filed in the DC Circuit in support of Common Cause's lawsuit against the Trump Administration, Former National Security officials are worried that the Trump administration's proposed database that's designed to prevent so-called voter fraud would be susceptible to large-scale hacking. The former officials, including former National Intelligence Director James Clapper say exposing the personal information of millions of Americans online would invite hacking by both nation-states and criminals. Cloudflare CEO backtracks on 'Daily Stormer' takedown Remember when Cloudflare decided to stop hosting the neo-Nazi website 'Daily Stormer' for mocking the woman who was mowed down during Charlottesville riots in August? Now, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says that was a mistake because he's almost a "free speech absolutist" and that he let his emotions get the better of him. He says he's going to try not to be so impulsive next time. And, in the future, if the Southern Poverty Law Center reaches out to him to complain about hateful content Cloudflare is hosting, he's just going to delegate it to the Electronic Frontier Foundation--a privacy-focused non-profit that's based on the West Coast--and let those two duke it out. He's too busy to help curtail hate speech, basically. Meanwhile, Google announced that it will be hiring 10,000 people to help stamp out extremist content on YouTube.   SEC Crypto unit files first charges The Securities and Exchange Commission's new division that's focused on cryptocurrencies filed its first charges last week. They're against a company called PlexCorps, which was about to hold an initial coin offering (ICO) for which it claimed investors would receive 13 times their investment. The SEC alleged fraud and froze the company's assets. Meanwhile, the price of a single Bitcoin has jumped to over $17,000, from around $1,000 in January. Bitcoin futures also launched on the New York and London exchanges on Monday. Many experts are predicting that Bitcoin will eventually crash.   Facebook kids messenger app raises privacy red flags Facebook released a new app last week called Messenger Kids which lets kids under 12 "connect with people they love but also has the level of control parents want." Almost immediately, Democratic Senators Ed Markey and Richard Blumentahl raised concerns, saying that the app raises privacy and security concerns. So they're asking Facebook for more clarity on how the app works. White House says warrantless NSA surveillance can continue after statute expires The NSA's warrantless surveillance program will expire on January 1st if Congress doesn't pass an extension. However, the White House says that it has the authority to keep the program going because the FISA court met on April 26th and made changes that would remain in place for a year. Charlie Savage reports in the New York Times.  Google blocks Youtube on Amazon devices Google has blocked YouTube on Amazon's streaming devices. Google says Amazon refuses to offer Amazon Prime through Google gadgets and has recently halted the sale of Google's Nest. AT&T/Time Warner merger trial set for March The trial between the Department of Justice against the AT&T/Time Warner merger is set to begin on March 19th. This is unlikely to meet that April 22 deadline for the deal to close, on which AT&T would have to pay Time Warner $500 million.

Facebook says it built Messenger Kids, a new version of its popular communications app with parental controls, to help safeguard pre-teens who may be using unauthorized and unsupervised social-media accounts. Critics think Facebook is targeting children as young as 6 to hook them on its services. Facebook's goal is to “push down the age” of when it's acceptable for kids to be on social media, says Josh Golin, executive director of Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood.
