Meta Platforms Stops Researching the Effects of the Facebook App

Meta Platforms (META) has halted its internal research on the popular social media platform Facebook. This decision by the company has rolled back its efforts to gain more insight into the mental health effects on the platform's users.

Discussions about the negative impacts of the Facebook app on mental health have been raised by many experts and activists worldwide for a long time. It is believed that while Meta was collecting more data on this issue, the increased sensitivity towards users' psychological states also played a role.

In light of this development, investors and social media users will keenly follow Meta's future strategies and sense of social responsibility.
