Dear Friends,

Please join us today at 1pm ET for an important and timely conversation about how to think about and approach Facebook and Instagram after the relevations of the past few months. This event was originally intended to focus just on the recent revelations about Instagram and teen health, but we've expanded it to look at the full set of issues, Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower, is bringing to light.

You can register for the Zoom based event here.

Joining us will be Zamaan Qureshi, the co-author of a new Time Magazine essay, "Instagram Is Doing Grave Harm to Our Generation. We Need Help to Stop It." Zamaan's essay reflects on the recent Wall Street Journal expose, “Facebook Knows Instagram Is Toxic for Teen Girls, Company Documents Show.” In what is a truly shocking set of revelations reported in this article, it appears internal, hidden Facebook studies have found that Instagram makes “body image issues worse for one in three teen girls.” You can follow Zamaan here and review his bio below.

We hope you can join us for this important conversation about fixing Facebook (and Instagram too) today at 1pm ET.

Zamaan Qureshi is a policy advisor and social media coordinator for the Real Facebook Oversight Board and a researcher for The Citizens where he focuses on Cambridge Analytica. Zamaan is also a privacy advocate, has written for TIME and Byline Times, and has been featured in Newsweek, Forbes, and Cybercrime Magazine for his work exposing Facebook’s data collection on its users. Zamaan is currently pursuing a BA in International Studies and Political Science at American University.
