To combat the issues surrounding Instagram’s emphasis on ideal body images, the company is considering promoting funny memes and nature photos by abebrown716
fter coming to realize that Instagram’s emphasis on ideal body images was hurting some users’ self-image and mental health, a group of researchers at the company hit on the idea of distracting users with nature images and humorous memes, among other measures. The lighter content might offset the damage, they reasoned.
The researchers also suggested that Instagram could emphasize posts with positive body issue hashtags, like #loveyourself, and images of average-sized or plus-sized models. Their work concluded that several core elements of Instagram were making the situation worse, and if the company wanted to take drastic action, it could consider limiting Likes or comments on a post—or even turn off its collection of photo filters, perhaps the app’s most famous feature.
While the Instagram team seemed undecided on the best course of action, it had reached definite conclusions about the problem at hand. “33% of Instagram users and 11% of Facebook users think the platform makes their own body image issues worse,” the report reads.
This 2020 report has not been previously reported and comes from the documents provided by Facebook whistle-blower Frances Haugen to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which were also provided to Congress in redacted form by her legal team.
