Proposal to Limit Instagram’s ‘Explore’ Page A group of child development experts has proposed that social media companies like Instagram should limit the ‘Explore’ page feature for users under the age of 18. According to the proposal, the algorithm often shows teens content that is not appropriate or that promotes unrealistic beauty standards. The experts believe this feature can negatively impact the mental health and self-esteem of young users. They argue that limiting this AI-driven content feed would create a safer and healthier online environment for teenagers.
