Facebook executives were on Capitol Hill this past week to discuss the “Instagram Kids” app. Before the hearing, Facebook announced it was pausing work on what has become a controversial development. Facebook’s global head of safety, Antigone Davis, said, “Our products actually add value and enrich teens’ lives, they enable them to connect with their friends, their family.”
Facebook said the new app would insure that body shaming, trolling, bullying, racism, and targeted advertising were kept out, and the version would be safe for kids 12 and under.
Facebook also announced that it was developing a new line of products derived from snake oil, and that it also had a bridge in Brooklyn it was planning to sell.
