    The last thing any child under 13 needs is to be on social media. Let alone one run by Facebook

    Such a stupid idea. First of all this app will be infested with pedos. And second no 12 year old is going to download Instagram kids. If they want Instagram they’re just going to download the actual app. And to be honest no one under 13 should even have social media to begin with. Just stupidity

      @ChangedName _ They own WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. They are a beheamoth and an advertising beast for businesses.

    How about, just no Instagram? Why does your child under 13 NEED a picture/video driven social media??? They don’t. And shouldnt.

    I guess kids vaping is better than smoking cigarettes; Instagram for children is better than normal Instagram??? You stupid? Or you dumb?
