(UNICAMP - 2020 - 1ª fase)

When 24-year-old fashion blogger Scarlett Dixon posted a picture of herself having breakfast, the internet turned nasty. “The best of days start with a smile and positive thoughts. And pancakes. And strawberries”, Dixon wrote on her Instagram feed. The post was reposted on Twitter. “Instagram is a ridiculous lie factory made to make us all feel inadequate”, wrote Nathan from Cardiff. His post, which has garnered more than 111,000 likes (22 times as many as Dixon’s original) and almost 25,000 retweets, prompted a wave of criticism, with comments going like “Fakelife!”. 

Instagram looks like the friendliest social network imaginable. But, for a growing number of users – and mental health experts – the very positivity of Instagram is precisely the problem. The site encourages its users to present an upbeat, attractive image that others may find at best misleading and at worse harmful. Instagram makes you worry that everyone is perfect – except you.
