Instagram’s Algorithm Delivers Toxic Video Mix to Adults Who Follow Children - WSJ 11/28/203

Instagram's system served jarring doses of salacious content to those test accounts, including risqué footage of children as well as overtly sexual adult videos — and ads for some of the biggest U.S. brands.&10;The Journal set up the test accounts after observing that the thousands of followers of such young people's accounts often include large numbers of adult men, and that many of the accounts who followed those children also had demonstrated interest in sex&10;content related to both children and adults.But much of the evidence cited by the states was blacked out by redactions in the initial filing.&10;Now the unsealed complaint, filled on Wednesday evening, provides new details from the states' lawsuit. Using snippets from internal emails, employee chats and company presentations, the complaint contends that Instagram for years "coveted and pursued" underage users even as the company "failed" to comply with the children's privacy law.
