If only there was something the law maker could do other than farm for rage. Like make a law so 8 year olds aren’t exposed and abused on Meta’s platforms.
We can’t expect people working for Meta to act ethically. But we could expect lawmakers to actually protect the children.
If a person had said the exact same things that Meta went out of their way to write down in their own documentation as “acceptable” they would be charged with solicitation of a minor and it wouldn’t be a close call.
Honestly, people who work at Meta need to feel more consequences of their decision to do so in my opinion. That organisation is without any doubt whatsoever a net negative to society.
