- Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal urged Meta to abandon the feature in a Friday letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
- According to Meta, users can enable the map, share live locations with followers, choose recipients, and turn sharing off anytime.
- Meta says the feature is off by default; supervised parents are notified when teens start sharing and can control access and recipients.
- The senators said some users had reported that their locations were shared automatically without consent.
“Meta's platforms have been consciously designed to prioritize profit over the protection of its most vulnerable users: our children.”— Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal wrote this in a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg about child safety on Meta's platforms.
