A New Mexico judge has penalised the tech giant for creating a public nuisance and endangering children online. Meta confirmed it plans to appeal, insisting it works hard to protect young users across its platforms.
No where near enough to be a punishment given how much they made since inception doing this. So much for the “for the children!” people doing anything useful.
Also… i hate that the media keeps not noting that the things that hurt children also hurt adults.
Infinite scroll, sounds, alerts, alforithmic manipulation is all happening to adults as well. We expect adults to self regulate, but they dont. Its destroying society. But we only seem to care about the children?
There are cases of mass human pysocologial tests being eun in real time by meta. They dont deserve a fine. They deserve prison time.
