American company Facebook plans to launch an Instagram KIDS application – the version of the social network of the same name specifically for children under 13 years of age. This was reported by the Buzzfeed portal with reference to the company’s internal documents.
“We will introduce a new youth component into a community product group to focus on two things: accelerate our work to ensure integrity and confidentiality to ensure the most secure experience for adolescents, and creating an Instagram version that will allow people under the age of 13 For the first time, it is safe to use the platform for the first time, “the portal quotes the letter, which sent by the employees of the social network Vice President Instagram Wishl Shah.
The letter was sent out two days after the Instagram management stated that it was necessary to take more effort to protect young users. Currently, the company’s policy prohibits the use of service by persons younger than 13.
