☆ Meta says it will restrict content for teens, as complaints mount about harmful effects on youth

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, attends a U.S. Senate bipartisan Artificial Intelligence Insight Forum at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2023. Meta said Tuesday it will limit the type of content that teenagers on Facebook and Instagram are able to see, as the company faces mounting claims that its products are addictive and harmful to the mental well-being of younger users. In a blog post, Meta said the new protections are designed "to give teens more age-appropriate experiences on our apps." Similar complaints have dogged the company since 2021, before it changed its name from Facebook to Meta. Haugen later testified to a Senate panel that Facebook consistently puts its own profits over users' health and safety, largely due to algorithms that steered users toward high-engagement posts.

Revenue in the virtual reality and augmented reality division dropped 26% from $285 million a year earlier, to $210 million. The new product contains an improved "passthrough" feature that creates more of a mixed reality experience. The Quest 3 has a starting cost of $499, which is $200 more than the Quest 2 but $500 cheaper than the high-end Quest Pro VR headset. In June, Meta debuted the Meta Quest+ VR subscription service for users who want to access two new games each month. The subscription service costs $7.99 a month and works with the Quest 2, Quest Pro and Quest 3 VR headsets.

☆ Facebook depends on local partners to flag hateful content. In Ethiopia, those partners say they were ignored.

Trusted partners say warnings were ignoredInsider spoke with six current and former trusted partners from Ethiopia who said that Facebook routinely ignored their pleas to take down content that they deemed hateful or likely to incite violence. Some of the trusted partners declined to be named because they've faced death threats and fear for their own safety. Multiple trusted partners in Ethiopia said hate speech is still proliferating on the platform. Rafiq Copeland, a senior adviser at InterNews, one of Meta's longest-standing trusted partners globally, told Insider that the core complaints of trusted partners in Ethiopia have come up in other Rest of World countries. Even in Addis Ababa, it seemed that everyone knew about the Facebook posts, and many people now saw him as a traitor.
