Instagram announces teen safety updates a day before its CEO testifies before Congress
said that, among teens who reported suicidal thoughts, 13% of British users and 6% of American users traced the issue to Instagram. The reports were based on thousands of pages of internal documents provided by former Facebook employee and whistleblower Frances Haugen.
Another feature, called "Take a Break" will ask users to stop using Instagram momentarily and will give users reminders to take more breaks, Instagram said. The feature, which needs to be turned on first, is rolling out in the U.S., Canada and Australia on Wednesday and to all users by early next year, Instagram said.
"After bombshell reports about Instagram's toxic impacts, we want to hear straight from the company's leadership why it uses powerful algorithms that push poisonous content to children driving them down rabbit holes to dark places, and what it will do to make its platform safer," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., previously said in a statement to CNBC.
