"It also creates a trap—a collective action problem—for girls and for parents. Each girl might be worse off quitting Instagram even though all girls would be better off if everyone quit."

I like this part, it is quite clear quitting social media alone is probably even worse and self-isolating than not taking part.

The solution would be to address it on a societal level, but that requires pretty strong societal/political will to put such a policy in place.

Such is the dilemma of the age, no doubt this is only one aspect, boys and even dating are affected on similar levels.
