Using Instagram to Help Teens Deal With Mental Health Issues

The more charitable read, i think, is that they're genuinely interested in building features into instagram that offer support and enhance the well being of users who are experiencing difficulties. So if we take those claims about purpose at face value, this sounds like a pretty responsible thing to do. And you know, maybe it is about the bottom line, but they're keeping their finger on the pulse of an important issue and how teens perceive it, and what interventions might be appropriate to improve the platform in that regard.
