Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn criticized Meta's announcement regarding revamped teen accounts on Instagram, labeling it a "PR stunt" designed to distract from scrutiny over child safety issues. Blackburn's remarks followed a Senate hearing where concerns about Meta's handling of child safety research were raised.
The newly introduced restrictions aim to limit content for teen users, yet Blackburn and other lawmakers expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of these changes. They argue that such actions do not reflect genuine accountability and are merely an attempt to circumvent upcoming legislative efforts to protect children online.
Senator Richard Blumenthal reaffirmed that these modifications by Meta will not deter the progress of the bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act, emphasizing the need for continued regulation in safeguarding young users across social media platforms.
