quipped, “Running for office on a pledge to end Finsta.”Insider’s Kat Tenbarge was a little more serious: “If you wondered why there are no regulations for child influencers it’s because our elected representatives are too busy trying to figure out what ‘finsta’ means.”Political activist Amanda Litman wrote, “Basically every tech hearing includes at least one moment in which I am reminded that the average age of the U.S. Senate is 62.9 years old and that has direct implications — for better & for worse — on the way they govern.”This comes after Facebook announced Monday that it is “pausing” the rollout of an Instagram application designed just for kids under the age of 13.
