Norway&#x27;s biggest newspaper is reporting on it after multiple people have complained to them about what they&#x27;re seeing. First paragraph is telling people to stay away, &quot;you don&#x27;t want to see this&quot;. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vg.no&#x2F;nyheter&#x2F;i&#x2F;Vz29Lp&#x2F;oversvoemmes-av-voldelig-innhold-ikke-gaa-inn-paa-instagram-i-kveld" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vg.no&#x2F;nyheter&#x2F;i&#x2F;Vz29Lp&#x2F;oversvoemmes-av-voldelig-...</a>

I literally just had this discussion with a friend an hour ago. My feed was mostly photography content, motorcycles, tech... and today I was bombarded by the most brutal dying videos and some of them were not even behind a safe screen. I feel awful and sick. This is getting out of control. I&#x27;ve uninstalled the app.
