Glad I was sitting down when I read that. Nobody could have predicted that Instagram would only pay lip service to removing harmful content /s
Meta is one of the Evil Corp who is killing people, and destroying lives, through pursuit of profit. It's goal is to frame the health and well-being of people and society to allow advertisers reach a bigger, better and an easier manipulated audience.
I know it's a cliché, and I don't use this often as things have many sides, but I do wonder how people justify this to themselves and what they see when they look in the mirror.
