Ep. 164: Instagram “Teen Accounts” & Gorilla “Screen Time”


Listen Later

Today, we are discussing the newly announced Instagram “Teen Accounts,” which will automatically restrict teens under 18 to a private account, offer more strongly filtered content, and prevent them from being DM’d unless they are already connected. Is this praiseworthy news?? We give our two cents. And we’re discussing the Toronto Zoo’s problem with patrons allowing the gorillas to have too much screen time.
