Not everyone needs to be 'in the know', in fact most of the time people won't even try to think through a position and it's consequences. They'll just support it based on surface level arguments. Also Meta isn't exactly drowning in liability when they're raking in billions in profit. Power stands to gain when information is controlled

    You really underestimate the trouble meta and YouTube are in. The specific rulings were barely tickets to them, but if they are upheld then follows flood gates of identical lawsuits are going to be opened up. They had millions and millions of child users in the 2010s that they knowingly served an addictive product to. If the current ruling is upheld, then there will likely be a very large class action settlement to payoff all the past injured users. But instead of changing their product going forward they want to get rid of the responsibility for their product entirely.

    Stop making up fake conspiracies and be mad about that.
