SWE 93 Meeting Chinese people in Mexico

With many teens spending almost all of their time online, parents are concerned that social media is exposing them to harmful content. Faced with growing pressure to stop online harm, Instagram has introduced a major new update to protect young people and give parents more control.

Under 18s now signing up for Instagram in the US, UK, Canada and Australia will be automatically enrolled into a restricted teen account. Existing accounts will be transferred by mid-November.

The European Union will get teen accounts later this year, and the rest of the world in January. Other Meta services like Facebook will get teen accounts next year.

What limits will teen accounts have?
Instagram already prohibits anyone under 13 from signing up.

Now, teen accounts will automatically be set to private, so they'll have to accept or reject new follower requests. Other users won't be able to see their posts or tag the account.

Teens will also only receive direct messages from people they're following or who follow them.

Teens won't be shown content involving sensitive topics and an anti-bullying feature will screen out offensive words in comments and message requests.

To reduce their screen time, teens will get a notification to stop using the app after it's been open for over an hour — which they can ignore.

Sleep mode between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. will mute notifications and send auto-replies to direct messages. However, they can still use Instagram and answer messages if they want to.

Are there workarounds?
These limits will be turned on automatically for all teens, but 16 and 17-year-olds can turn them off. Kids under 16 will need permission to do so and parents can make changes and approve or deny any requests.

However, if parents want to use teen controls, they'll need an Instagram account.

EL MERCADO DE LA GRAN TENOCHTITÁN.

El Mercado de la  “Gran Tenochtitlán”, era el lugar donde se reunían las cosas, almacenando alimentos, animales, objetos y una gran diversidad de productos. Este  centro comercial prehispánico estuvo ubicado en Tlatelolco, ciudad fundada en 1338 por los tlatelolcas, tribu mexica que se separó de los tenochcas, fundadores de Tenochtitlan y estaba situada en un islote al norte de esta ciudad dentro del lago de Texcoco. Su tianguis era el corazón de un hormiguero multiétnico, un centro de reunión e intercambio cultural al que comerciantes -conocidos como pochtecas- provenientes de toda la geografía mesoamericana e individuos, especializados en el comercio a larga distancia entre las distintas regiones que integraban el imperio mexica, e incluso más allá de sus fronteras, acudían a vender sus mercancías, así como a comunicar noticias recogidas durante sus largos trayectos. Esto incluía la información militar, ya que frecuentemente los comerciantes desempeñaban las funciones de embajadores, emisarios e incluso espías, que describían los ricos territorios que fueran propicios para futuras guerras de conquista. El gran tianguis de Tlatelolco se ubicaba al suroeste del área que conocemos como el Templo Mayor de la ciudad; operaba en un gran espacio al aire libre donde se reunían compradores y vendedores; habían alrededor numerosas habitaciones que eran utilizadas como bodegas y depósitos, siendo considerado el modelo prototipo de mercado en Mesoamérica. Su fama deriva de la gran impresión que dejó en los conquistadores españoles, quienes le consignaron en sus crónicas. Cuando los españoles llegaron a la cuenca del Valle de México en 1520, Tlatelolco era el eje del comercio y la economía en el Anáhuac por encontrarse en los linderos de la ciudad de México-Tenochtitlán.
