Should Instagram Take a Pause?
Adam Mosseri, Facebook's Head of Instagram, went on The Today Show on Monday, Sept. 27 to talk about Instagram, its effects on children, and the company's plans for an Instagram "safe for tweens." We've talked a lot on this podcast about the toxicity of social media, and Mosseri's appearance on The Today Show put that topic at the forefront of the cultural conversation once again. Today, we're talking about Facebook's plans to "solve" the problems of Instagram, the power of its algorithm, and the difficulties of raising children (made even more difficult with the rise of technology and social media platforms).
