Just barely out of week 1 and you're already running stories about yourselves?

If a New York Times investigation was moderated off of Instagram and the illegal content they reported on was kept up, it's fair play for the NYT to talk about that.

Yep, totally standard - bit of a weird criticism tbh.

If it’s relevant and newsworthy, I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

In the about us section they state their reporting is “exploring the ways technology is shaping–and is shaped by–our world.”

I’d say this reporting falls squarely in those crosshairs.
