14-year-old Nika Vennant committed suicide with a rope made with a scarf on the shower's knob while live-delivering the video using Facebook Live. Boys and girls who deliver the moment of committing suicide like Venant do not fail after all over the world. Facebook denies the criminality of its services, but also accepts the situation seriously and promises to prevent suicide live distribution by hiring more staff. Also, Facebook has introduced artificial intelligence (AI) to stop users' suicideclearI am doing it.

Such Facebook has released "Messenger Kids" as a communication application for children on December 11th. It is a standing position called "Facebook Messenger" for children, which enables you to exchange messages, send and receive photos and videos like Facebook Messenger, and also has a parental control function. The reason why such an application appeared is that Facebook account can not be created by oneself unless it is 13 or older.

In the United States"Children's Online Privacy Protection Act(COPRA) "regulation exists, so Facebook has rules so that children under the age of 13 can not create accounts. Mark Zuckerburg, CEO of these regulations, said, "It is a battle that we should address to lower the minimum age"Talkis. According to Zackerberg, "My philosophy is that education really needs to start from a young age because of regulation we could not start this learning process.We are a young child We are doing a lot of preventive measures to confirm that they are safe. "By talking about SNS like Facebook from a young age, how to get involved with these applications and services We think that we can learn what to do.

Large companies such as Blockbuster and BordersFacebook is gone"WhenPredictionI made a fool of those who did, but in fact, Facebook faces an uncertain future, it is clear that future outlook will be worse without youth inflows. In other words, Facebook can think that not only to teach children under 13 years old to use services such as SNS, but also to release Messenger Kids to bring young generation to Facebook.

Such Facebook is manyCollect user informationAlthough that act itself is not bad. Rather, users are actively providing user information, and Facebook has a foresight to gather this and use it for advertisements, and advertisers are ready to spend money on such advertising services You can take it.

And based on the collected user information, Facebook will be thinking about "Which advertisement will show to which user?" Although Facebook does not distribute news on its own, it is possible to distribute news and opinion advertisements through advertisements, etc. In the 2016 US presidential electionFacebook sells 11 million yen of advertisement to Russian fake accountAs I said, the fact that it became a hotbed of fake news diffusion called a big topic.

Other than that Facebook is posting discriminatory housing adsreportIt is released in 2016. This is because certain home advertisements are not displayed on people like African-Americans, high school students, mothers, wheelchair users, Jews, foreigners from Argentina, foreigners in Spanish-speaking countries etc. It was said that it was deliberately targeting delivery destinations only to specific races and ethnic groups.

In this way, Facebook frequently delivers advertisements with considerable biases, and often adopts a biased way in the delivery method. It seems that only things such as "I am interested in Sunni and Shi'ism in Islam" was stopped being distributed as advertisement on Facebook so far. The problem of Facebook delivering ads that include discrimination against race or ethnicity is a big problem that is happening at the time of article creation, but many users never leave Facebook.

Many users continue to use Facebook, knowing that Facebook is having a big problem ethically. Some people think that "Facebook helps to build a connection with others and helps create happiness", but it is certainly not for such reasons.

is therethe studyIt is suggested that Facebook is harmful to humans. According to the research, Facebook loses face-to-face relationships, invites an increase in "sitting behaviors" that live while sitting, can impair self-esteem and put into poisoning. In addition, Facebook seems to strengthen the feelings of envy, bring about an increase in stalking, divorce and depression, reduce student's sleeping time, and have a negative influence on academic performance. Still many people keep using Facebook, because Facebook is addictive like cigarettes on Facebook.

But Facebook is not inherently an evil company. It is obvious that it affects the user's mental health, but Facebook needs to stay on the site for as long as other SNSs, and the longer that time, the more ads can be displayed As a result, income increases. With this endless loop, SNS will generate revenue and the user will be excited. TNW wrote that "SNS is actively utilizing human weaknesses and deeply incorporating users into service, killing the opportunity to make users happy."

Tristan Harris, Google's ethicist, explains that these methods of SNS are exactly misuse of the techniques used by magicians to entertain the audience, saying " If you know how to push a button, you will be able to manipulate people to play the piano, this is exactly what magicians are doing, magicians design their choices for their convenience I am afraid that the audience gave me free choices.

For Facebook, which is evolving to such a terrible thing, "Creating an account under 13" is prohibited in the service terms of service. Still perhaps millions of parents allow children to use Facebook.Survey in 2011According to 76% of the 1007 households surveyed, they said that they are using Facebook accounts for children under 13 years of age. Of those, 53% know that Facebook has age restrictions in the Terms of Service, and 35% interpreted that age limitation is merely a proposal. TNW wrote that this is a survey result that not only raises the problems of American law but also shows that the SNS itself should firmly recognize this type of problem.
