If journalists were parents, they would know that young people never actually tell adults what they really are doing.
I asked every young people I interviewed what they used their VPN for. Instagram is the answer at least 80% of the time. They need stay updated with their favorite stars and fashion trends. Few read news.https://twitter.com/BeijingPalmer/status/1177365061712719875 …

I disagree. These are young people who chose to talk to me even though they didn’t have to, probably because I’m not their parents.

Yup. When I was in insight I asked loads of young people about their internet use and Instagram is basically the only VPN-required activity that comes up.

Once upon a time, I also visited Insta; it didn’t take long for me to realize that it was just a waste of time and energy viewing different kinds of pictures. (In Chinese, 没多少营养) Instagram has since disappeared from my phone.
