Molly Russell’s father has accused the world’s largest social media corporations of ‘monetising distress’ after an inquest dominated that dangerous on-line content material contributed to the 14-year-old’s demise.
Ian Russell accused Meta, the proprietor of Fb and Instagram, of guiding his daughter on a ‘demented path of life-sucking content material’, after the landmark ruling raised the regulatory strain on social media corporations.
The inquest heard on Friday that Molly, from Harrow, north-west London, had seen massive quantities of content material associated to suicide, despair, self-harm and anxiousness on Instagram and Pinterest earlier than she died in November 2017
