Speaker:
Hi. This is Bill Sikkens, host of User
Friendly 2.0
2
00:00:02,625 --> 00:00:05,333
Saturdays here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
00:00:05,333 --> 00:00:07,666
Social media
has been around for a long time,
4
00:00:07,666 --> 00:00:09,583
and it is something that
most of our children use.
5
00:00:09,583 --> 00:00:10,875
A lot of us too.
6
00:00:10,875 --> 00:00:13,208
there are some very positive uses
of social media.
7
00:00:13,208 --> 00:00:14,208
Sharing pictures,
8
00:00:14,208 --> 00:00:17,916
remembering a fun party,
talking to people that might be far away.
9
00:00:18,041 --> 00:00:20,250
there is also a dark side
of these platforms
10
00:00:20,250 --> 00:00:24,291
that allow bad guys, stalkers,
and those that would do our children harm.
11
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:25,000
Access.
12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,625
And parents are increasingly worried
about this, and rightfully so.
13
00:00:28,625 --> 00:00:30,916
But parents are not alone in this fight.
14
00:00:30,916 --> 00:00:33,833
Joining this week,
Jen Hanley, head of North American safety
15
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:37,583
from meta, is going to be talking
about some of the precautions and tools
16
00:00:37,583 --> 00:00:40,958
that meta is putting together
to help with this problem
17
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:43,041
on both Instagram and Facebook.
18
00:00:43,041 --> 00:00:46,875
There are methods going in
that we'll be able to better verify
19
00:00:46,875 --> 00:00:47,916
the age of children.
20
00:00:47,916 --> 00:00:52,916
Watch out for the bad guys and help out
with making this whole situation
21
00:00:52,916 --> 00:00:54,375
just a little bit safer.
22
00:00:54,375 --> 00:00:57,208
So join us
this Saturday here on User Friendly 2.0.
23
00:00:57,208 --> 00:00:59,958
