A survey conducted by Facebook found that the social network is harmful to 1 in 8 users, negatively impacting their sleep, work, or personal relationships, according to The Wall Street Journal, based on documents leaked to the press.

The survey prepared by Facebook determined that these negative impacts are the result of compulsive use of the platform and found that, among all social media, the one led by Mark Zuckerberg is the one that most often generates this type of addiction among Internet users.

Following this finding, a team of the company itself specialized in the welfare of users issued a series of suggestions to reduce cases of addiction to the network, only some of which were implemented, internal company documents show.

Among the measures that were implemented are reducing the frequency of notifications (a system designed by the platform itself precisely to encourage habitual use of the network) and creating voluntary tools that encourage users to take breaks after a certain amount of time.
