Facebook has been receiving complaints from concerned groups and individuals over the past months regarding them allowing violent content to be viewed by anyone without warning. Because of these, Facebook now puts a cover over potentially-graphic videos that warns the user of its nature and asks for consent before it plays. This safety measure also disables those videos from auto-playing (a feature they rolled out previously). The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is urging Congress to study the impact of violent video games on Filipino youth following the recent school shooting in Tacloban City. Based on what the DILG said, a longer exposure to graphic violent content could nudge young people’s behavior and gradually make them less sensitive to violence, like kinda numb them. Users can simply search “fitness” in the app to find the videos and start a workout anytime. The workout videos feature instructors like Rebecca Kennedy, Ally Love, and Rad Lopez.
