"Girls as young as 8 start to lose self-confidence b/c of negative self image and social comparison."

Internal document
████: "Would we consider not surfacing certain content in our rec surfaces that we know to be triggering?" ████: "The way that we've identified borderline harmful in other categories" Vaishnavi Jayakumar: "Totally - we're working on a borderline ED policy right now to address this and are just kicking that off" ████: "The images that ████ sent yesterday of an explore feed is really problematic, and the ownership of that is also on us since it's an unconnected, recommended surface." Vaishnavi Jayakumar: "Yeah - the challenge is that when you zoom in, any one of those photos probably wouldn't be triggering. But in an explore grid with all these photos stacked against one another, it's pretty overwhelming" ████: "Girls as young as 8 start to lose self-confidence b/c of negative self image and social comparison. It's when they become aware of their bodies vs. others." Vaishnavi Jayakumar: "Yeah and we're playing the same role today in their perception of self-identity that magazines and music videos played when we were growing up" ████: "Exactly" Vaishnavi Jayakumar: "And we all know how much those visuals impacted how we saw ourselves - I wanted to have pin straight long hair and hated my curls" ████: "That's exactly right. And the problem i had with the intervention proposal is that the magazines had to take more ownership of what they showed in their mags knowing that young girls were the biggest consumers of their publication." ████: "Also, one leverages user data in a way that I want us to think through holistically. It's invasive, in many ways, to know that we're analyzing the content you consumer and recommend something else. Outside of narrowly defined harmful content streams." ████: "there are really meaty legal issues separate and apart of the policy and public health concerns. Largely by way of deceptiveness (which I think is something we should start to leverage more)"
