Instagram says social media’s effect on people mental health “mixed”
The HinduInternal researchers at Facebook-owned Instagram have found the app poses serious mental health danger to many teen girls, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week, citing internal company documents. The image-sharing platform added that social media’s impact on the wellbeing of people is “mixed” and depends on the state of mind when people use it. According to the company’s research, many users said Instagram makes things better or has no effect, but it may make things worse for those who are already feeling down. “Issues like negative social comparison and anxiety exist in the world, so they’re going to exist on social media too,” Instagram noted.
