🐍 Not shocked by #Meta or the kind of people they put in charge of their “digital experiences for kids”¹.

Exactly the kind of person to entrust with social media #ageverification (calls, live videos, photographs etc.).

I mean they already love scanning messages for child sexual abuse material via #ChatControl².

☑️ Entrust children's data to the people literally caught exploiting them, all under the banner of protecting kids?

Meta has been up to no good for a while - always?

Is $1.4 trillion a reasonable amount for these cases? Who knows.

Is it reasonable compensation for all the evil they’ve done? I’d argue yes.

It’s essentially their entire market capitalization as a penalty.

What is a company like Meta to do when it notices that 10% of it's income comes from advertising scams, illegal gambling & products? ENCOURAGE IT & RAISE THE PRICES FOR THE CRIMINALS - OF COURSE!

Sadly the good times eventually had to end: The Consumer Federation of America is going after Meta for it now!
