Start-Up

In November 2019, Instragram announced they'd start hiding likes.

- Why would they want to do that?

- What happened?

In a bit, we'll watch a news clip of that announcement.

No Likes?

With your neighbour, discuss (2 min):

- what is their reason for doing this?

- do you think this would help or not?

- what has been the result?

- how does that compare to what they wanted?
