What We Can Learn From The Facebook Whistleblower About Protecting Our Kids On Social Media

The Facebook Whistleblower FrancesHaugen sits down with Scary Mommy's NYCMicaela to explain how parents can protect their kids on social media.

“The most extreme content is… the most likely to provoke a reaction from people,” she explains. “What Facebook’s own documents show is that people can come in there and follow a pretty innocuous interest like healthy eating. And just by clicking on the content that Facebook provides, they’ll get shown more and more extreme content and get led to things like anorexia and self-harm content.”

While Instagram isn’t necessarily “evil”– the company is not going out of its way to harm our kids — the artificial intelligence it’s created does the work for them. And Meta — the new name for the entity that owns Facebook and Instagram — isn’t doing enough to correct the system that they’ve set up. Not only are they not spending enough money to improve the AI, but they’re also not putting an effort into protecting kids that shouldn’t be there.
