Meta Platforms, stopped 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 pulled back its efforts to gain more insight into the effects of the platform on users' mental health.

For a long time, discussions about the negative impacts of the Facebook app on mental health have been raised by many experts and activists around the world. It is believed that the increasing sensitivity towards users' psychological states also played a role as Meta sought to gather more data on this issue.

Following this development, investors and social media users will be closely watching Meta’s future strategies and its approach to social responsibility.
