카카오톡은 메타의 고소건과 거의 비슷한 수준의 행위를 하고 있습니다.어플을 실행하면 쇼츠를 먼저 띄웁니다. 이렇게 설정한적이 없어요. 어른도 원하지 않은 쇼츠에 노출되고 있는데 하물며 미성년자는 그것을 거르지 못하고 이러한 설계에 의해서 안좋은 영향을 받을 확률이 큽니다. 미성년자 및 이러한 중독에 취약한 계층을 보호하는 안전장치없이 자신들의 이익을 극대화하는 조치를 취하고 있어요. 어떻게든 해야한다고 생각합니다. 부득이하게 사용하고 있지만 이건 아니라고 봅니다. 메타가 이번 청소년 안전장치에 미흡했던 기존 설계에 대한 고소의 합의금으로 한화 약 24조원을 지불하게 될거라고 하더군요. 카카오톡이…

숏폼원하는 사람만 보게끔 하면 되잖아요 끄는 기능을 만들던지 뭐하세요? 피드뜨는 것도 불편해 죽겠는데 숏폼은 무슨 의도로 만든 건가요? 그냥 인스타랑 유튜브가 잘 되니까 따라한 건가요? 차라리 없애는 거? 바라지도 않습니다 오픈채팅창이 먼저 뜨게 바꾸어 주세요 학교관련해서 오픈채팅방이 있는데 너무 불편합니다 대부분이 유튜브로 숏츠보지 누가 카카오톡으로 숏츠봅니까?
