 My suggestion is they should keep updating their privacy policy to protect personal

information even more. The Instagram privacy policy should be clear and easy for the

user to understand so they know their limitations as a user. They should limit viewing

ads for children to avoid accidentally clicking on the ads and leading to the transaction.

This can be done by limiting the sharing of information with advertisers and marketers

with children’s account.
