1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: How about this Instagram appears to be buckling under pressure

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: and is going to control what kids can see if

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: they're on the social media app. It's launched what they're

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: calling teen accounts, and these will have a bunch of restrictions,

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: including being private by default, so people can't just randomly

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: message the teens, and also the teens can only see

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: certain things need safe. Chief Online Safety Officer Sean Lyons.

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Is with us a Sean, Hi, how are you doing?

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm very well? Thank you? Is this good enough? Is

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: this what we want?

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: I think it's certainly our step in the right direction.

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not everything. It doesn't fix all the problems,

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: but I think what we're starting to see, and you know,

14
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: the look like you alluded to, is movement towards giving

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: more protection by default to young people and hopefully helping

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: parents to understand and have more of an active role

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: in what keeping young people safe online?

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: How do you restrict what they see? What are we

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: going to restrict it too?

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: Well, the biggest one is the fact that the accounts

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: will go automatically from public to private if they're not

22
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: already private, So that's restricting other people's ability to see.

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: But Also with that goes for the kind of sensitive

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: what they call sensitive content filters, So where the AI

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: detects that some of those images might be violent or

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 2: highly sexual or content along those lines, it will be blurred,

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: it will be obfuscated and won't be able to be

28
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: seen by by those individuals. So it's some content control

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: and like I say, it's it's the right start, but

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: there's there's there's a lot further to go.

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: Are you reading this as them being worried about the

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: possibility of countries like Australia banning kids under the age

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: of let's say, sixteen, I am sure.

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, but I'm sure they're aware

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: of all of the kind of legislative calls that that

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: that that are going around and people's you know, genuine

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: feeling that that perhaps there's more to be done. Not

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: sure what that what the motivation it is. I mean,

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: they're they're US based company, that they're probably legislation changes

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: the foot foot there too, But I think it is

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: probably in recognition of the fact that the more of

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: the community of US are saying we would like to

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: understand how these platforms could be safer, and we'd like

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: you the platform to try and make them safer.

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,880
