People were just outraged at facebook last week for researching just that (how insta affects teens). I don't have much optimism in our ability to go beyond the surface.
- mdm_ 5y agoI don't think most people were outraged at FB for _researching_ how Instagram affects teens. What people were outraged about was that upon finding that Instagram appears to have deleterious effects on teen girls, FB a) didn't share these findings with the public or consumers of Instagram, and b) doesn't appear to have done anything to correct or mitigate the negative effect their product appears to have on these people.
