This appears to be a little disturbing!
"A mother started an Instagram account for her preteen dancer daughter as a pandemic-era diversion, which quickly grew in popularity. However, she soon noticed that most followers were adult men. Investigations by The Wall Street Journal and outside researchers have found that, upon recognizing that an account might be sexually interested in children, Instagram’s algorithm recommends child accounts for the user to follow, as well as sexual content related to both children and adults. That algorithm powers the growth of a world in which young girls’ online popularity is predicated on gaining large numbers of male followers—forcing their parents to make tough choices."
