Children don’t have as good self regulation as adults do, that’s why they’re not allowed to buy cigarettes.
When kids describe their usage of Instagram, Facebook’s own research describes it as ‘an addict’s narrative’.
The kids say ‘this makes me unhappy, I don’t have the ability to control my usage of it, and I feel if I left it would make me ostracised’.
I am deeply worried that it may not be possible to make Instagram safe for a 14-year-old and I sincerely doubt that it is possible to make it safe for a 10-year-old.
