    Facebook used to have a team dedicated to analyzing their apps’ risks to children’s and teenagers’ health. The team concluded that there are indeed many serious health risks for both children and teenagers, especially teenage girls. Shortly after, it got disbanded, and all its recommendations completely ignored.

      Ignored? Yeah I suppose so, but they sure as shit used the data for their own gain. That team really was the road of good intentions
