Molly Russell's Father: 'Don't Shut Down Social Media'

The father of 14-year-old Molly Russell, who committed suicide, has urged people not to shut down social media, despite his daughter having viewed 2,000 posts related to suicide before her death.

The story of Molly Russell, who ended her life on November 20, 2017, highlighted the danger of algorithms promoting self-harm content to underage users. The investigation into her death concluded that the content she saw online contributed to her tragic end.

The images and videos that appeared in her feed should never have been accessible to a child.
