Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a bipartisan coalition of 44 attorneys general, is urging Facebook to abandon its plans to launch a version of Instagram for children under the age of 13. In a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Raoul and the coalition contend that social media can be detrimental to children for myriad reasons and that Facebook has historically failed to protect the welfare of children on its platforms. Raoul and the coalition expressed concerns over Facebook’s proposal, including research that social media can be harmful to the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children; rapidly worsening concerns about cyberbullying on Instagram; use of the platform by predators to target children; Facebook’s checkered record in protecting the welfare of children on its platforms; and children’s lack of capacity to navigate the complexities of what they encounter online, including advertising, inappropriate content and relationships with strangers.
