This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
“Safety issues” is just a super-weird newspeak way to talk about propaganda.
I couldn’t tell what it meant from the headline; what, does instagram have a factory where people are getting injured? Well, no. And yes.
I agree that it’s an obnoxiously vague headline.
They’re talking about the fact that they intentionally crafted The Algorithm to shape social media feeds in a way that is actively detrimental to mental health (of all ages, but particularly young people) of a statistically significant proportion of the population simply because it’s profitable.
You’re welcome for explaining the business model of centralized corporate social media.
I wouldn't expect much from this. There will probably be a lot of uneducated technological questions from the court, and purposefully vague responses from the facebook guy
