Foundation says words contradict reality of Instagram, which contributed to suicide of London teenager
A charity launched by the family of Molly Russell has labelled Mark Zuckerberg’s pledge to prioritise kindness on his new Threads app as “absurd”, as the Twitter rival raced past 70 million users less than 48 hours after launch.
Molly, 14, killed herself in 2017 after viewing harmful content on social media platforms including Instagram. An inquest ruled last year that dangerous online material related to self-harm, suicide and depression had contributed to her death.
