Meta on Tuesday said it was tightening up content restrictions for teens on Instagram and Facebook as it faces increased scrutiny that its platforms are harmful for young people.In a blog post, the company run by Mark Zuckerberg said it will now "restrict teens from seeing certain types of content across Facebook and Instagram even if it's from friends or people they follow."
A rule issued Tuesday by the US Labor Department making it tougher for companies to classify workers as "independent contractors" could take a toll on the gig economy and is likely to face challenges."Misclassifying employees as independent contractors is a serious issue that deprives workers of basic rights and protections," said Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su.
The new requirement restores a "multifactor analysis" used to determine a worker's ties with a company.
