Children can send photos, videos or text messages to parent-approved friends and adult relatives. Hunt, who has suggested social media affects young people\u2019s mental health, said on Twitter: \u201cNot sure this is the right direction at all. Facebook told me they would come back with ideas to PREVENT underage use of their product, but instead they are actively targeting younger children. Stay away from my kids please Facebook and act responsibly!\u201d He held a meeting with technology companies, including Facebook and Twitter, to discuss cyberbullying last month. In a blog post about its new app for children, Facebook said it understood parents\u2019 concern about children\u2019s interaction with technology. \u201cWe know that when building for kids, we have to get it right and we\u2019re taking that responsibility seriously,\u201d wrote Antigone Davis, Facebook public policy director and global head of safety. \u201cWe want to create technologies that benefit, rather than harm or are merely neutral on the lives of children. \u201cBut in all of our research, there was one theme that was consistent,\u201d Davis said. \u201cParents want to know they\u2019re in control. They want a level of control over their kids\u2019 digital world that is similar to the level they have in the real world.\u201d Messenger Kids isn\u2019t Facebook\u2019s first attempt to attract a young audience. It bought anonymous polling app TBH, as in to be honest, which is geared at teenagers, in October for just under $100 million.
