So Instagram has finally made Teen accounts private as pressure mounted on
00:04
the app to protect Children.
00:06
Honestly, I can't believe it took this long.
00:08
Really? Yeah, I doubt it will keep all the creeps
00:11
out though. But still it's something.
00:14
No. Yeah, it's a step in the right direction.
00:15
So essentially what ID is gonna do is new teens joining
00:18
the app will automatically receive a accounts and so exist teens that
00:24
are on the IG app already will be moved to Teen account
00:27
within the next 60 days.
00:29
And I mean, it's funny because like you said,
00:31
like I know some kids are gonna like,
00:32
they, they're going to lie about their age and get the
00:34
account. But overall,
00:36
regardless of all that,
00:37
I just hope it keeps the kids safe because same here,
00:40
same here. And in my humble opinion,
00:43
I don't think teens should have social media really.
00:48
And this is because it's like,
00:49
dude, like, like me as a grown woman in my
00:53
thirties, I'm affected by that.
00:55
Like if someone calls me,
00:57
you know, you know,
00:58
on the freaking on the show.
01:00
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
01:02
I got a comment that said it was a 66 Torta.
01:04
And what? But if someone calls me something,
01:07
I'm getting my feels about it.
01:09
I'm like, you know,
01:11
I'm just like, dude,
01:12
I can only imagine what those two kids or comparing yourself body
01:15
wise to someone else or where your life's at and all this
01:18
stuff, you're being constantly stimulated by all of this,
01:21
you know, and it's like,
01:22
it's a lot. So imagine what it does to kids,
01:25
like, you know,
01:27
and I'm mature or at least like I like to think I
01:31
am. So like what age do you think is a good
01:32
age for younger people?
01:34
So you get, because when did,
01:35
when did you get your first social media account?
01:37
OK, myspace, myspace,
01:39
myspace. That was,
01:42
I was young, like around that I was in when I
01:45
got there and those top eight things were,
01:49
that's where it all started.
01:51
The friends were bickering at each other like why is she on
01:53
your top eight? Not me and this and that and then
01:55
they changed it to top 16.
01:56
So it kind of,
01:57
I don't know. But I mean,
01:59
look as a parent,
02:01
all you can do is try to supervise your kids.
02:03
That's their kids. I mean,
02:04
I can put up the restrictions just to cover their asses on
02:07
the legal side. Ultimately,
02:09
if the parents monitored by mom,
02:12
it's like you do it and that's fine.
02:14
I don't, I don't judge parents that let their kids have
02:17
social media it's fine by all means that's your kid.
02:19
You know, like who am I to say?
02:21
When should I he get on social media,
02:23
brother? Well, funny enough,
02:23
she has an IG already.
02:25
No way. I don't vote.
02:26
I think she follows you fake as she follows me.
02:32
I'm not active on it but I mean,
02:34
it counts. I can put pictures but she follows me.
02:37
I believe that's fucked up,
02:38
bro. On my end.
02:43
I'm going to look her up right after this.
02:45
I'm not going to say here.
02:46
But yeah, that was pretty clever.
02:47
But yeah, I think what's it called?
02:49
She has a social media account,
02:50
but I'm not going to let her actually be active on.
02:51
So until she's a legal age,
02:53
it's like I'm going to be that parents.
02:55
It's like, but I,
02:56
let me see, let me supervise.
02:58
No, just when you're actually old enough to do this thing
03:01
on your own, even with some supervision,
03:03
then you can get on it.
03:04
Yeah. No, for sure.
03:05
But I get this like for kids that have social media and
03:09
I like that there's more like a safer option.
