Lush quits social media saying it’s “dangerous for young people “

Companies do a lot to get attention on social media — from cringe-y brand Twitter accounts posting about Taylor Swift to incessant Instagram stories. But after Facebook’s own research showed that Instagram is bad for the health of young people, Lush decided to quit social media all together.

The cosmetics company shut down its Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok accounts on Friday. Lush’s chief executive, Mark Constantine, said the decision to get rid of its accounts came because of the deep problems the company’s seen with safety on social media.
