And what is really important is that whatever experience a child is having, it's actually age-appropriate, and it's built with them in mind.įADEL: Yeah, but a lot of kids will try to get into their parents' alcohol cabinet or try a cigarette, but do we create a young version of that for them?ĭAVIS: Well, I wouldn't compare those two things. You mentioned earlier that young people try to get onto technologies under the age of 13. Why?ĭAVIS: I'm not sure I would categorize it as insisting, but what I would say is this. And yet Meta has insisted it does plan to create this platform. And a lot of people think an Instagram just for young people under 13 would only perpetuate more danger for kids. And we're trying to come up with multiple ways to address that issue.įADEL: Mata paused work on Instagram Youth for kids 13 and under. And it's a problem that the industry faces.
And there's no - you know, there really is no one panacea for solving that problem.
HEAD FOR FACEBOOK VERIFICATION
We also are developing AI to better identify people who are under the age of 13.įADEL: Because the age verification - I mean, you can lie.ĭAVIS: You can. There's a screen that pops up when you're setting up an account. Is there progress at making sure that that doesn't happen?ĭAVIS: Yeah, so we do have specific safeguards in place. And this was actually developed with experts.įADEL: Even though Instagram is supposed to be just for 13 and over, a lot of kids under 13 are on these platforms, and they're not supposed to be. And essentially, what that does is if we see a teen is engaging with content for an extended period of time, we actually will nudge them to look at different content. I asked Meta's head of safety, Antigone Davis, if these things will improve teen's mental health.ĪNTIGONE DAVIS: One of the tools that we actually are launching is called Nudge. They include allowing parents to approve downloads their kids make in the company's virtual reality platform, allowing parents to see how much time their children are spending using virtual reality headsets and letting parents invite their kids to allow parental supervision over their Instagram accounts. The company is releasing a set of tools today that it says will improve things. And I don't mean you have to be an engineer or a product designer.It's been a year of intense public scrutiny for Facebook's parent company, Meta, including a Wall Street Journal investigation, a whistleblower and a congressional inquiry into why the company failed to act on its own internal research showing teen users attribute mental health problems to its platforms. "So we want people who are really proud of and inspired by that mission." Additionally, she says, we want "diversity, new perspectives and builders. "At Facebook we are really proud of our mission, which is to give people the power to build community and bring the world together," she says. This includes, she says, candidates who can prove in an interview that their strengths align with the mission of the company and tie into their ability to create new things and build community.
While there is no right way to answer this question, Kalinowski explains that she is expecting potential employees to elaborate on the skills and qualities that will make them a standout candidate for the job. "We're a strength-based organization," she says in regards to Facebook, "so we're looking for the things people do when they're losing track of time because they're so absorbed. This open-ended question, she says, allows her to get insight on "what motivates people and what their strengths are," as they discuss the projects they completed or goals they accomplished on one of their best days at work.
