Reading the newspaper one recent morning, I was struck by a headline: “Meta sued over 11-year-old’s suicide”. The report from the U.S. left me feeling sorry for the child’s mother, who has chosen to call out the “culprits” who caused her little ones’ death.
She alleged that her daughter suffered from depression and sleep deprivation due to severe addiction to Instagram and Snapchat. The report reminded me of a similar case in the U.K. where a man partly blamed Instagram for his 14-year-old son’s suicide.
