Instagram Shelves Standalone Kids’ Platform
https://www.tubefilter.comInstagram is “pausing” development on Instagram Kids — a separate platform that it had been building expressly for users under age 13.
The pivot arrives in the wake of an explosive Wall Street Journal report revealing that internal Facebook research concluded that Instagram was contributing to worsening body image issues for one in three teen girls. The Journal notes that Facebook has made minimal effort to address these issues, and plays them down in public.
