Facebook and Instagram are changing their policy to crack down on underage children on their network. And Nike has opened another experimental store to provide a better and more personalized service to customers.  

Show Notes 

Nike has rolled out another of its retail-of-the-future experiments in opening a concept store with the aim to lure the digital shopper with personal services and experiences.   

Though its interaction with customers, Nike will know what people are buying and not buying. This will help the company to know what to keep in stock.  

Google Maps 

Google Maps recently added a neat new feature to the web version, one that most of us likely missed because it’s the kind of smart feature you expect your mobile device to deliver.  

Google Maps on the web can now notify you when it’s time to leave, in order to make sure you arrive at your destination on time. Of course, this is already on the mobile version.   

A second option was added to the Notifications toggles in Google Maps’ settings called “Time to leave.” Just make sure you activate the feature by going to the Notifications toggles inside the side menu.  

A crackdown on those below the age of 13 

Facebook and Instagram are now looking to be more proactive and lock the accounts of users that they suspect are below the age of 13.  

Before, their policy was to only investigate accounts if they were reported specifically for being potentially underage. But Facebook now confirmed that an “operational” change to its policy to lock the accounts of any underage user they come across. Once locked and if they are above 13, then Facebook will require the users to provide proof that they’re over 13, such as a government-issued photo ID, to get back access.
