Social Activism ,Political Commetary and Solutions
TheVoiceOfJoyce The new GDPR Rules from the EU, are designed to make Social Media platforms accountable for allowing child exploitation. Teens, using the Instagram platform, are supposed to have privacy settings on their accounts for protection. Instead, their settings went Public along with their emails and telephone #’s. Instagram says they’ve corrected their algorithms and teen settings are now private. Since we don’t have access to all Meta’s tracking data & AI, can we be sure our kids and their behavior across Social Media Platforms is safe? Instagram has been fined $405 million. The FCC is writing regulations to protect children, too. In the US, we need a Regulatory Board, to analyze AI and make data gathering transparent. Why not assure parents that their children’s behavior isn’t tracked and harmful content is removed? When will America, make Meta, Instagram and all Social Media transparent, accountable? Enforcement of accountability, through fines, works better than self regulation! Self regulation, as I learned during my Ford days, when we asked that a product be installed, as required, it was never installed.
