Facebook just announced that it's pausing the rollout of Instagram Kids, a version of the platform for children under 13 years old, while it works to "demonstrate the value and need for this product.” The pause comes after a Wall Street Journal story a couple of weeks ago about the company's research on how Instagram affects teens.
