Social Media Struggles With Its Awkward Adolescence
Tim Kendall last year deleted the Facebook app from his phone for reasons that are becoming increasingly common: a sense of anxiety and dissatisfaction after viewing other people’s filtered lives, frustration at the divisive political discourse and harassment from trolls. What makes Mr. Kendall’s move more surprising is he was an early architect of Facebook Inc.’s business model, and has served as president of another popular social-media business, image-sharing company Pinterest Inc. Mr. Kendall is wealthy and a success professionally by almost any measure, but the endless scrolling through social media was producing unwanted negativity in his life.
