Facebook, Instagram Unveil New Controls for Kids
The new controls were outlined on Sunday by Nick Clegg, Facebook’s vice president for global affairs, who made the rounds on various Sunday news shows including CNN’s “State of the Union” and ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” where he was grilled about Facebook’s use of algorithms as well as its role in spreading harmful misinformation ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. “We are constantly iterating in order to improve our products,” Clegg told Dana Bash on “State of the Union” Sunday. “We cannot, with a wave of the wand, make everyone’s life perfect.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bloomberg / Getty Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are not having a good month, and following the senate hearing with Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistle-blower, it’s probably going to worsen.
