As reported by BBC, Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner, also known as DPC, is currently investigating whether the popular image sharing platform, Instagram is able to properly protect sensitive data like email addresses and phone numbers for accounts owned by underage children. DPC is the leading regulatory body in the European region, and since a number of tech giants have headquarters in Ireland, they must be ready to receive heavy fines should the failed to protect their users' private data or to illicitly sell them to third party.
 
Well as the platform is owned by facebook so if it happens people might complain against facebook as well , as both apps can be accessed with the same login , under scrutiny from several issues in the past , i hope this issue verdict comes out false
 
If we should go by the way Facebook handle members data poorly I don't think Instagram will escape the fine from DPC because it is owned by Facebook. I hope we get to know when investigation will be over.
 
Let me guess, they got fined in the end, Instagram is known to sell the user content to third party, there's even a line in their term that said your content belongs to instagram if you posted there or something like that
 
I am very sure those data might be sold to advertisers to target ads , but i think its not only instagram other social media app also sell users data
 
I like this already, the data of every user should be protected let alone that of children. This should be seriously taken to help children enjoy the platform without issues

This is a good measure been taking by Ireland data protection agency as many companies are busy selling of people's data unnecessarily .
 
Considering it basically has the same owners as Facebook I think that your data is secured until they need it :). Nowadays we should understand that if you want your life to actually be a little private you shouldn't even have a social netwwork profile. I am completely aware that the reality we live in the twenty first century and privacy and secrecy is something of the past. Now everyone wants to become as popular and recognizable as possible. All the teens are using automatic likes service in order to make their profiles more popular.
I totally agree with you. Data violation is not just what we see on Facebook alone but almost in all social medias . This is while we need to be careful about the information we give out .

Yeah i think most reveal what they do on social media just to entice more people so they could get more followers and this is actually bad because they don't consider their privacy
 
isn't there already a term of service that doesn't allow kids to create accounts ? Instagram belongs to facebook, and that's a thing there, so i believe it should exist in instagram too

Very right! I really wish users will be more responsible in putting out their life information out there. Some have turned those platforms into a showcase for their lives.

Personally I would prefer that Under-18 kids operate their social media accounts under parental supervision.
There are bound to be flaws in the way these social media accounts are handled and regulated.
So what has been the outcome so far?

Yes some people much more than what they should be posting. They should understand that their privacy is a lot in their own hands before they post.
Not so once they have posted.

I also think that it is a good idea for under 18 folks to have some sort of supervision in place, if not the parents, the platform itself could restrict certain features and some level of limitations put in place for their posts.

YouTube has a complete division- YouTube Kids, which does restricts revenue for Child content creators yet it restricts spamming and disturbing effects that were otherwise prevalent.
 
I believe Its been sold to third party all data inclusive , but the issue is that how can they know all the child instagram account to verify the information, there are real and fake instagram account too
 
There have been many privacy issues sorrounding Facebook, yet Instagram and Facebook are linked to one owner. So I bet even Instagram will be found guilty of having poor security over private data of individuals.

They are working together and definitely they are both making use of users private data ,to sell to advertisers and they would make more money

That is so bad and I am glad that the media and other security persons are not letting them get away with it. They should keep pressuring them until better security measures of private data are put in place.

The media can't continue to be mute in such situation , i am optimistic that something would be done very soon about the private data issue
