Pocket seems to lean towards a more formal or educational manner of distributing media, whereas Pinterest tends to be more creative and customisable. This is particularly clear with the feature allowing the user to create a personalised “board” or any theme they like. This is a stark contrast to Pocket, where the biggest change that can be made is how you choose to organise the articles you have saved.

The social media platform I have chosen yo write about is Instagram, given it is one of the largest, most frequently used platforms, especially among young people. There are a few improvements in think could be made to instagram’s privacy policy, that would make using the app an altogether more enjoyable experience, due to the increased sense of security and privacy regarding users information.

Firstly, I believe there should be an increased level of transparency overall when it comes to the privacy discussion. Being presented with pages upon pages of text when you first open the app and being expected to read it all is simply not going to happen for the vast majority of users. More often than not, users do not know what they are agreeing to when they accept the platform’s terms and conditions. So realistically, who knows what information we are giving up? Following on from this, I think it only fair for users to be made aware of why their information may be collected or shared, instead of being vague with the wording. I also believe the general privacy settings on the app should be simplified, as Anderson (2017) says, “more than half of 12–15-year-olds are on Instagram.” Given these numbers, privacy settings should be made as simple to customise as possible, I also think a barrier should be put in place, in order to prevent any users under the age of 18 from having public accounts. As the 5Rights Foundation explains, many platforms ignore the fact that there even are users under the age of 18 on their platform, this simply is not good enough. Those under 18 must be protected on social media platforms, or the process to set up an account must be programmed in such a way where it is much more difficult to get a profile under 18 years of age. There are practically no systems in place to stop young children lying about their age when setting up accounts on social media – this problem must be addressed. Along with the previous points made, I think regular updates and notifications about any changes regarding the privacy policy should be made abundantly obvious to users, in plain and simple language. There should also be an option provided to users who want to keep their account as private as possible, to opt-out of particular options in relation to data collection.

My reasoning for suggesting the above changes is simple – make Instagram a more secure place for all of its users, especially minors. The 5Rights Foundation outlines the problem that “children and young people are disproportionately affected by the risks of the digital world.” If some of these simple changes were implemented, perhaps this fact could change. Not only should the younger generations be protected from their data and private information being manipulated and used in ways they were not aware it could be used it, but so should all users. This is why I have provided some suggestions that could tackle the issue Instagram users may face in regards to their privacy.
