Social-media giant Facebook has recently published two slide decks outlining its studies about Instagram's effect on teenagers' mental health. Instagram's parent company also strongly refuted a Wall Street Journal article that accused it of obfuscating these studies. Facebook blamed WSJ for the "mischaracterization of internal Instagram research into teenagers and well-being." At least 40% of Instagram users are 22 years old and younger.
