US senators attack Facebook and ask them to release their own research into how their products affect users after revelations about the harm some its platforms cause to vulnerable groups including children. (1) 
The company knew that its social media sites were harming teens and didn’t do anything about it. It is time to turn off their ads and algorithms... Facebook claim we control the ads we see but we don't. They do. (2)
And Facebook cant change their algorithms. FT report one woman who had miscarried twins was constantly followed by ads about parenting +maternity. She typed in miscarriage repeatedly to get the algorithm to change but it didn't. She was still bombarded. (3)
So FB continue to harm us + our children because ads are the engine of their profits. They barely remove trolls or harmful anti-vaxxers or suicide memes, + profit from harm to children. Governments must stop this now. All credit to the US Congress. (4) @carolecadwalla
