Two incidents — both involving women competing in the Olympics — provide the latest grim proof of the often toxic, menacing and deranged nature of social media .

"For all users, irrespective of age, we make it easy to set screen time limits, so our community can select for themselves a screen time limit that they are comfortable with.
