In 2017, The Australian published a confidential document leaked from Facebook. It revealed how the company had offered advertisers the opportunity to target ads to 6.4 million Facebook users as young as 14 who were going through psychologically vulnerable phases of their lives. In these phases, the teenagers felt ``worthless'', ``insecure'', ``stressed'' or ``anxious'', among other things. To track these emotional downturns, Facebook had monitored the messages, images, interactions and activity of their users on the Internet.
