Instagram features a map for users to share their location and view geotagged content from others, visible for 24 hours. Parents can receive alerts if their child shares location details and have the option to disable this feature. Senators Blackburn and Blumenthal criticized Meta's child safety measures and advocated for stronger protections, highlighting concerns over unwanted automatic location sharing and previous incidents involving AI engagement with children. A Meta spokesperson clarified the map is off by default and sharing is limited to selected users.
Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal expressed concerns about Meta's track record regarding child safety, mentioning past issues like AI chatbots interacting badly with children.
