A group of 75 faith leaders have penned a public letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg asking to scrap the idea for a new Instagram for children.
While Facebook has definiely taken some heat, it is still unusual for such a large collection of clergy to try to publicly cajole a corporation to change its mind. Their remarks are a reflection of the moment, a time when Meta’s problems maybe catching up to it and long-frustrated opponents like FairPlay may feel emboldened to press their case further.
The new seven-page letter comes from religious leaders across every major faith and cites a wide range of scripture in pressing Instagram to abandon the kids’ app. It references the Islamic poet Rumi, Pope Francis and the Buddist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and includes passages from the Quran, the Bible and the Upanishads, a foundational text for Hindus.
