Comment on Instagram says it will alert parents if their teen repeatedly searches for terms related to self-harm or suicide in the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia

  1. This means they had to verify my teenager is a kid. I don’t want it collecting information on my child.
  2. This means that they also have verified I’m the parent or legal guardian of said child meaning whether I use Instagram or not they are collecting information on me, and I don’t want that either.
  3. The algorithm for Instagram is a major direct contributor to suicidal ideation and this does nothing to fix that.

No thank you. Burn it with fire.
