  • 5 months ago
Instagram, a social media platform owned by Meta Platforms, has been facing major backlash over practices surrounding its suggested content.

What Happened: On Monday, the Wall Street Journal exposed the alarming practices of Instagram suggesting sexualized content of minors to adult users via Instagram’s Reels. This was further confirmed by a similar test run by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, reported Business Insider.

This report comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed against Meta by 33 states earlier this fall, accusing the company of ignoring warnings about potential harm to young girls and not shutting down millions of underage accounts.
