Teenagers should be encouraged to take Instagram breaks

Facebook’s communications and policy manager Nick Clegg has been interviewed by CNN and reveals that the company has plans for a new feature for Instagram that will help teenage users relax.

The function should be called “take a break” and will, according to Nick Clegg, work like this: When Instagram discovers that a user is watching the same content over and over again, the app will “push” the user and suggest a short break from the service. According to a previous blog post from Instagram manager Adam Mosseri, it will be about temporarily freezing the entire account.

Nick Clegg gave no answer to a question about whether the company’s algorithms contributed to incitement before the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2020, but said that the algorithms “should be regulated, perhaps through legislation, so that people can see that they are doing what we claim to do. ”.
