This means nothing if they don't stop pushing an algorithm that has been proven time and time again to cause damage to mental health in the first place.

1. This means they had to verify my teenager is a kid. I don't want it collecting information on my child.
2. This means that they also have verified I'm the parent or legal guardian of said child meaning whether I use Instagram or not they are collecting information on me, and I don't want that either.
3. The algorithm for Instagram is a major direct contributor to suicidal ideation and this does nothing to fix that.

No thank you. Burn it with fire.

Big 'low tar cigarette' vibes

Just push them to darker parts of the internet why don't cha?

All this "for the kids" shit is directly at the expense of the kids.

Why not recommend therapy? What if the cause is the parents?

Wild take, given that Instagram is often the cause for the self-harm tendencies of teenagers.

Honestly I don't understand why this platforms exist in their form. We know that they are responsible for the suicide of teenagers. How much worse can it get?

How? If I'm a teenager on Instagram and I'll start looking up this kind of content how is Instagram going to contact my parents, how do they even know who my parents are, they don't even know who I am, I'm just a username.

Insta will tell them do a flip.

If only my wife would give this shit up. Been trying for years.
