Rabat – A recent report has revealed that Instagram, a platform owned by Facebook, is aware that its algorithms prioritize harmful content because it’s more engaging.
Internal leaked documents published by the Wall Street Journal in September show that Facebook is aware of the negative effects of Instagram on teenage girls and chose to “downplay” the findings.
A series of articles published by the Wall Street Journal explains that the research carried out by Facebook illustrates the psychological problems that Instagram poses.
Instagram makes “body image” issues worse for one in every three girls, according to the leaked documents.
The number of Instagram subscribers is $1.386 billion users, making the photo-sharing app the fourth most used social platform globally according to Blacklinko statistics.
