New Mexico’s Attorney General Raúl Torrez sued Facebook and Instagram owner Meta in December, saying the company failed to protect young users from exposure to child sexual abuse material and allowed adults to solicit explicit imagery from them.
“While the company continues to downplay the illegal and harmful activity children are exposed to on its platforms, Meta’s internal data and presentations show the problem is severe and pervasive,” Torrez said.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, along with the CEOs of Snap, Discord, TikTok and X, formerly Twitter, are scheduled to testify before the U.S. Senate on child safety at the end of January.
Facebook has done so much terrible shit by refusing to moderate properly, multiple fucking genocides are on their hands, and yet this is what gets them in court? Fucking… this?
Nah, kids shouldn’t be on these platforms nearly as young as they are, kids being on these platforms are not the reason these sights need to moderate better, adults being jackasses are the reason these sites need to be moderated better.
