Facebook to air 30-minute documentaries
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2025 9:01 am
Facebook continues its battle to become the go-to video platform . According to The Wall Street Journal , the social network is considering the idea of acquiring weekly 30-minute slots and broadcasting them in different formats.
Facebook is looking to produce documentaries with alternative content and a variety of topics such as sports, lifestyle or science. This new development is intended to increase the value of the brand and strengthen its positioning. However, so far no agreement has been reached with any production company for these broadcasts, as short-term viability seems complicated .
At the helm of this project is Ricky Van Veen , founder of CollegeHumor . Since its inception in 2016, Van Veen has always had the goal of promoting the audiovisual content of the social network :
" I will work with all types of producers and organizations to optimize Facebook's performance and thus connect users through more attractive and meaningful content."
The recent announcement of the launch morocco phone data of YouTube TV next spring is worrying Facebook , which does not want to be relegated to second place in the audiovisual race.One of the biggest problems we face since the rise of the Internet, technologies, and with it, social networks and messaging , is the danger this poses for users, especially teenagers, in terms of their privacy and intimacy .
This is due to how vulnerable teenagers are regarding these issues, as they do not think much about sending compromising images by message. This gives way to possible sexual exploitation , as many young people do not trust the other person, and in many cases do not even know who they are. In addition, there are certain photos that are shared on the networks without taking into account that anyone can see them.
But what if, just before hitting the send button, a series of terms and conditions of service appeared ? Would teenagers then think twice before sending something?
That's what Children of the Street Society in Canada wanted to reflect with the campaign "Uncertain Terms," run by Cossette Vancouver, in which messages like this appear before the photo is sent over the Internet to a young teenager. Are you sure you want to give her that much power ? they ask, while reminding users to prepare for the possibility that family and friends will one day see the photos.
