Meta has settled a landmark court battle over teen social media addiction by agreeing to pay $23.6 billion and adding further child-safety measures to its Facebook and Instagram apps.
The agreement came ahead of Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg being expected to take the stand before a jury in federal court.
Meta is urging competitors like TikTok and YouTube to adopt similar measures.
a somewhat alternative view that i find amazing: https://reclaimthenet.org/the-meta-settlement-what-it-means-for-speech-and-privacy. seems Meta is ok with the big $23Billion settlement because it will give them more profit in the future.
I bet you’re not surprised. I’m not either.
Evil generates profit, and capital funds evil. It’s a feedback loop. They use their resources to condition us to serve them, directly or indirectly. We need drastic change.
Totally agree.
