The speaker named Emerge resembles a book and is a real treat for the eyes and ears of users. The next part of our interaction today will not be so positive. We will mention in it that Facebook plans to release a children's version of Instagram, which many people understandably do not like.

Protests against "children's Instagram"
Most of us can surely agree that children do not belong on social networks. Unfortunately, the reality is different and it is no exception that even elementary school students have their Instagram, Tiktok or Facebook accounts. The operators of some social networks, instead of the path of strict bans and stricter measures, have decided to create special "children's" versions of their platforms, which, for understandable reasons, is not liked by groups fighting for the healthy development of children. These groups are now demanding that Facebook immediately cancel its plans to create a children's version of Instagram. Representatives of Facebook, under which Instagram falls, defend themselves by saying that the children's version of Instagram would be under the full control of the parents of young users. “Kids are already online anyway, and they want to be connected with their family and friends, have fun and learn. We want to help them do this in a way that will be safe and that will be appropriate for their age," said Facebook representatives in an interview with the BBC, adding that they are also continuing to work on ways to ensure that users under the age of thirteen do not access Instagram.
Facebook, along with a number of other social platforms, has recently faced increasing pressure due to the fact that minors are using it. Officially, social networks are only available to users over the age of thirteen, but there is no way to safely and reliably verify a user's age at registration without the user having to share their ID. However, opponents of the future "children's Instagram" point out in their protest that, similar to the YouTube Kids application, this version does not have the potential to attract teenagers.
