In fact, the Journal&rsquo;s results closely match the company&rsquo;s own.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Internal tests and analysis by Meta employees have identified similar problems, according to current and former staffers and documents viewed by the Journal that are part of previously undisclosed company research into young teens&rsquo; harmful experiences on Instagram,&rdquo; the report read.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In 2021, company safety staff ran tests similar to those of Edelson and the Journal, and came up with comparable results, former employees said.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;A separate 2022 internal analysis reviewed by the Journal found that Meta has long known that Instagram shows more pornography, gore and hate speech to young users than to adults. Teens on Instagram reported exposure to bullying, violence and unwanted nudity at rates exceeding older users in company-run surveys, and the company&rsquo;s statistics confirmed that the platform was disproportionately likely to serve children content that violated platform rules.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The second is that this isn&rsquo;t a problem that&rsquo;s coming under control. Despite Meta&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/tech\/personal-tech\/instagram-facebook-teen-content-restriction-meta-58e31d39?mod=article_inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announcement<\/a> in January that sexually explicit content wouldn&rsquo;t be shown to users under 16, period, full stop, these tests were run between January and April. Another test by the Journal in June, using the same methodology, had the algorithm repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/sen-josh-hawley-goes-scorched-earth-zuckerberg-forces-apologize-victims-app-sexual-exploitation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recommending videos featuring women<\/a> and content involving anal sex after only a half-hour online.<\/p>\n<p>So, we are to believe one of two things. One, the most powerful, most influential social media company in the world right now cannot control sexual content being served up to minors the same way that TikTok and Snapchat can. Two, they don&rsquo;t want to, or don&rsquo;t consider it an urgent enough priority.<\/p>\n<p>But then, what were we to expect? This is why we protect adolescents from pornography &mdash; or at least, in prior generations, tried to. We knew that hormones drastically impeded their ability to tell the difference between right and wrong, sexually. Pleasure replaced intimacy. This was what second- and third-wave &ldquo;sex-positive&rdquo; feminism cheered on. Liberation! Our bodies, our freedoms!<\/p>\n<p>And companies took advantage of that. It was more difficult back in the day of the newsstand and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/coronavirus-silver-lining-playboy-magazines-print-edition-no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Playboy issue<\/a> &mdash; but with the advent of the internet, all you had to do is say you were 18 and porn giants would feed you whatever filth the primitive parts of your brain wanted at that moment. You were the monkey in the box, pressing the button for the addictive substance &mdash; until you were numb, insensate and still desperate for more.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you don&rsquo;t even have to do that. One of the largest corporations on earth will do it for you. And you don&rsquo;t even have to say you&rsquo;re 18 anymore &mdash; 13 will apparently do.<\/p>\n<p>We pretended that teenagers &mdash; especially teenage boys &mdash; wouldn&rsquo;t behave like this. Did we not know who they were? Were we not teenagers once ourselves? Beyond that, this &ldquo;feminism&rdquo; and &ldquo;sexual freedom&rdquo; has left these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/celebrity-model-converts-christianity-quits-x-rated-content-reverses-cosmetic-surgeries-let-god-lead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poor young women<\/a> pursuing digital prostitution &mdash; and that is what this is, make no mistake &mdash; because men don&rsquo;t protect them from this debauchery anymore. To do so would be repressing them.<\/p>\n<p>So now, we encourage it. We platform it. Silicon Valley neatly packages it and puts it in an app and serves it up to 13-year-olds, kids barely removed from chasing fireflies and playing tag. This is what&rsquo;s happening, and let&rsquo;s not pretend that this is some sort of one-off haywire test gone awry. This has long been a problem and it&rsquo;s not going away, presumably because the people behind Instagram don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s important enough to make it go away.<\/p>\n<p>So either Meta <em>can&rsquo;t<\/em> stop the tidal wave of degeneracy being force-fed to your 13-year-old boy, or it <em>won&rsquo;t<\/em> &mdash; because it operates in a bleak moral climate where, to do so, would be antithetical to the values the sexual revolution has left our society with.<\/p>\n<p>Both possibilities represent bleak tidings for society in general, and for parents of teens in particular. One, however, seems more believable than the other, especially given the resources and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/zuckerbergs-meta-sued-33-states-targeting-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">algorithmic complexity<\/a> of Meta&rsquo;s platforms.<\/p>\n<p>You make the call.
