Facebook used to have a team dedicated to analyzing their apps’ risks to children’s and teenagers’ health. The team concluded that there are indeed many serious health risks for both children and teenagers, especially teenage girls. Shortly after, it got disbanded, and all its recommendations completely ignored.

Personally I’ve been of the opinion that advertising, at least in its current form, should be illegal since I was about 15. I’m not 100% sure if it should be completely illegal, or just very heavily regulated. Even after all those years, I’m still baffled nearly every day that people around me seem okay with current advertising.
