The Wall Street Journal reported that the files showed Instagram knew the social media network has a negative affect on teens’ mental health. Facebook has pushed back on the WSJ’s characterizations of its research, saying that “it is simply not accurate that this research demonstrates Instagram is ‘toxic’ for teen girls.”.
They predicted that, if “increasingly fewer teens are choosing Facebook as they grow older,” the company would face a more “severe” decline in young users than it already projected.

We know Facebook executives believe that the company has positive overall benefits for the world, and we also know that they are meticulous students of their own data. Last week I argued here that Facebook ought to address this situation by committing to doing more research like that found in the Facebook Files, rather than less.
Later, when were chatting with a small group of people in the lobby, we noticed a group of teens walking by looking a little sad. The students are an audience they want to reach.He Sree struck up a conversation and learned that they had missed their chance to try out for labanda, a local American idol like show.
