A problem with shifting responsibility from the company to the users is that people often can't identify what's
harmful to them on a conscious level, according to Holly Shakya, an assistant professor at UC San Diego.
Shakya studies the impact of Facebook on mental health. She says one way social media can be damaging is
negative social comparisons. That's when people see carefully curated versions of other people's lives and
then feel bad about their own. They likely won't think to mute these kinds of friends, who could number in the
hundreds.

its users’ mental health. A problem with shifting responsibility from the company to the users is that people

Student submission #2:
Facebook recently implemented a mute button in response to growing concerns over the platform’s effects on
its users’ mental health. Users will be able to suspend notifications for the groups, friends, and pages they do
not wish to see. Assistant professor Holly Shakya notes that the problem with this is that Facebook users
probably won’t mute the friends they need to, those who offer perfect versions of their lives, which can lead to
damaging comparisons (Kelly, 2017).
