A warning to young people from Instagram to take a break!

Nick Clegg, Facebook's Vice President of Global Relations, made important statements. The technology giant is in trouble with the crashing problems of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp on the one hand, and the disclosures made by Frances Haugen on the other. Accordingly, after Haugen's statement to the Congress on the negative impact of Instagram on young people, a new Instagram break feature came up.

Facebook takes action to take Instagram break
The effect of social media on young people has recently caused a great debate all over the world. Facebook, on the other hand, is stuck in a corner with the confessions of Frances Haugen. As you know, Haugen announced that Facebook does not have a serious policy on issues such as the mental health of young people and the authenticity of the news shared. Providing documents on this subject, Frances Haugen continues to put the company in a difficult situation.

Facebook, on the other hand, announced that it will try a feature such as taking a break to spend less time on the Instagram platform, which is heavily used by young people. Accordingly, the Instagram take a break system will warn young people who view a post more than once. The platform, which will warn the person to look at other content, aims to spend more quality time on the platform.

As you know, the Instagram Kids plan has been disabled. The platform's ability to take a break, on the other hand, brings age control in a way. Accordingly, Instagram will prevent young people under the age of 18 from encountering negative content that is not appropriate for their age. Instagram will give a warning to the person to take a break for the content with the take a break feature. Of course, Instagram +18 is in a structure that does not easily include content. However, such a warning system is still being worked on for content that it considers not suitable for young people.

For now, Nick Clegg did not give details on when the Instagram break feature will be activated. However, different leaks about this feature have appeared before. At that time, it was predicted that the feature would come with Instagram Kids.

Against the accusations made by Frances Haugen, Facebook did not go beyond denying the allegations. Especially the technology world interpreted the announcement of the break after Haugen's Instagram statement as an interesting coincidence. It should be noted that for now, this feature will be activated for young people under the age of 18.
