An investigation by The Wall Street Journal found that Instagram's Reels algorithm served concerning and toxic videos to adults who mainly followed young gymnasts, cheerleaders, and teen influencers. The videos included risqué footage of children and overtly sexual adult content. Major companies' ads were also displayed alongside this content. The algorithm reportedly recommended sexually explicit videos involving minors to adults, raising concerns about the platform's content moderation and child safety measures.
