After the streaming giants like Netflix, Disney + e Amazon Prime Video, other companies such as Facebook and Instagram have joined the request received directly from the European commissioner who asked for the reduction of the video signal transmitted so as not to clog the global network too much and allow health services and smart-working workers to use the internet connection without too many slowdowns or loss of signal (here you can read the words in more detail).
Indeed, it seems that, in the course of this night, Mark Zuckerberg has joined this "initiative" by decreasing the quality of the videos transmitted on both Facebook that of Instagram. A spokesperson for the company said that in order to help prevent any network congestion, social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram will temporarily reduce the bitrates of their videos across Europe. The use of the contents will remain the same as before and the overall quality of the videos that can be viewed through the appropriate apps or the website will in any case remain good and enjoyable by anyone.
At the moment, no date has been set, as until the world medical health situation improves, the Internet giants will probably maintain a video quality that is lower than the standard but still enjoyable by users.
