Mark Zuckerberg pervert glasses 3 steps ahead in the cheating game!

"...An adult paid. A child was exploited. The platform took a cut."

Somebody close to me also had something like that happen before... these companies are profiting from "transactional sexual content" 🤮

Their child-addiction co-defendants Meta, Google and Snap are also a risk to children!

Who is easier to manipulate than a kid? An addicted kid.

⚠️ DARK STORY:

I saw a squirrel being hit by a car the other day and quickly dying after, which was really really horrible.

That was an accident, but some kids in the UK are hurting / killing pets and wildlife as part of some horrific TikTok trend...

Guess this is what happens when lazy people let corporations co-parent their kids and Animal Rights are weak.

Animal abuse should be punished much more severely IMO.

Think the roughly $18 Billion Meta has settled for over child safety is a slap on the wrist?

Wait until you see the actual details: 😀 Paid in annual installments over a 10-year period

😜 States receive the money, not the victims

🤑 30% will only be paid if YouTube & TikTok:

"...pay an amount matching the 30% figure "...implement a one-hour Daily Limit, Night Mode, and age assurance measures"

Meta even wrote a wonderfully open letter to their competitors!

Sadly now everyone will have to verify themselves, too bad for Meta, now they will have to collect even more data - which we know they totally oppose and hate ;)

"More than 1,000 school districts, including LAUSD, are suing Meta, Google, TikTok and others, arguing social media has fueled a youth mental health crisis and drained school resources."

"Snap is the latest big tech company to settle a lawsuit that claimed social media platforms are harmful to children and young adults. The company has reached a “tentative” agreement in a case that was set to go to trial later this month.

TikTok recently settled its portion of the case with the plaintiff, known by the initials “R.K.C.,” ahead of a jury trial that starts next week in Los Angeles.

YouTube has also reached a deal, leaving Meta as the only remaining defendant."

Surprise Surprise ;)

"But some users have voiced concerns that TikTok’s almighty algorithm doesn’t seem to incorporate negative feedback very well. Even when they don’t watch a suggested video or click the “not interested” feature, they keep seeing those videos on their FYP. Northwestern University computer scientists put those suspicions to the test. According to their recent paper, the engagement signals do have an effect, but only temporarily. Then the algorithm gradually relapses unless a user consistently gives the same feedback over and over again."
