here's the quick summary on Instagram internal research findings from this article:
A 2019 presentation slide said: "We make body-image issues worse for one in three teenage girls"
Another slide said teenagers blamed Instagram for increased levels of anxiety and depression
In 2020, research found 32% of teenage girls surveyed said when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse
Some 13% of UK teenagers and 6% of US users surveyed traced a desire to kill themselves to Instagram
