Former Meta employee speaks out about harassment on Instagram

A former employee of Meta, the parent company of Instagram, has spoken out about the prevalence of harassment experienced by teenagers on the platform. Arturo Berha, a former director of engineering at Meta, raised concerns about the lack of safeguards to protect young users from unwanted advances and harassment. Berha had previously brought these concerns to the attention of top executives, including Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram boss Adam Mosseri, but felt that the company was not taking sufficient action to address the issue. He believes that there is a need for better tools and transparency in addressing the harms faced by teenagers on Instagram.
