Mashup Score: 1Zuckerberg apology 'just not enough' - whistleblower - 3 month(s) ago
It’s twenty years this week since Facebook was launched. Last week its founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was forced to apologise at a US Senate hearing, to parents whose children died following sexual exploitation via social media or cyberbullying. A matter of hours later his company Meta delivered its quarterly results with the stock price surging by over 20 percent, its value up almost 200 billion dollars. Meta owns Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads as well as Facebook. Arturo Bejar worked for the company between 2009 and 2015 and then again from 2019 to 2021. He came forward as a whistleblower, saying Instagram isn’t doing enough to protect children from online harms.

Béjar spoke to the parents at that hearing and they told him they found it "very disrespectful" that Zuckerberg said studies did not show a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health. https://t.co/yR7UkKlkol

Mashup Score: 0Call to ban mixed-gender hospital rooms - 8 month(s) ago
University of Otago academics say New Zealand needs to immediately ban the practice of men and women sharing hospital rooms. In a paper out today they argue mixed hospital rooms undermine patient security and dignity. They say mixed gender rooms are happening in a major New Zealand hospital and the practice is increasing. Mixed gender rooms have been banned in the United Kingdom since 2010 and there have been attempts to prohibit the practice in some Australian states. The paper’s lead author is Dr Cindy Towns.
