I’m ok with it if they were targeting vulnerable teens with ads for how to improve their lives…but somehow I doubt that’s what happened.

They knew instagram was leading mainly teenage girls to commit suicide. But sat on that for years instead of acting on it. I would not be surprised if they targeted sleeping pill ads to users who appear suicidal.
