WE TEND TO BASH SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS FOR THEIR BREACH OF PRIVACY AND FOR THE MANY SECURITY RISKS THEY CAN IMPLY.
BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THE PROBLEM DOESN'T LIE IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA APP ITSELF, BUT RATHER HOW WE USE IT.
OUR DEAR PARTNERS AT INSTAGRAM HAVE MADE AVAILABLE VERY INTERESTING AND NEEDED SECURITY FEATURES, TO ALL USERS AND WHICH WE WOULD LIKE TO SHED LIGHT ON.
Today, with the circumstances brought on by the coronavirus pandemic,
the internet has become the most common, if not the only,
means of communication worldwide.
Therefore, we decided to host an interactive and engaging session with our partners at Instagram, who have made very interesting and needed security features available to all users, and that we would like to highlight for a safer experience on one of the most used apps by children, adolescents and parents.
We collected questions from our online audience ahead of our sessions as a way for our Live to actually answer the real concerns
and issues being voiced.
ENGLISH LIVE SESSION
The English Live Session was moderated by Public Figure and Journalist Dalal Mawad, with Mia Chalhoub a Senior Facilitator from himaya, as well as Kira Wong O’Connor, the Head of EMEA programs at Instagram.
