Must be time to bring out dead-eyed sociopath Mark Zuckerberg’s meat shield - Nick Clegg, a failed politician who sold his soul for a few months acting as David Cameron’s bag carrier.
Clegg will tell us that this change of plans has nothing to do with those well-sourced reports and that black is actually white - because who doesn’t trust a company that is nothing more than a voracious moral black hole consuming society for advertising clicks?

This will give us time to work with parents, experts, policymakers and regulators, to listen to their concerns, and to demonstrate the value and importance of this project for younger teens online today.
Translation: “This will give us time to figure out how to snare the kids’ info and clicks without parents, experts, policymakers, and regulators noticing.”

Whoa, back up there cowboy, there isn’t a “need” for Instagram at all.
It feels gross to say it, but one could argue that a need for a Facebook-like service exists. With Instagram though, it’s like arguing your neighborhood needs a Chuck-E-Cheese.

At least the worst part about Chuck-E-Cheese is just that it may have a pee-soaked ball pit, not that it’s undermining the fundamental concepts of society and democracy.
