Meta just admitted they could've saved your kids all along

6 months ago

Meta admitted they could have blocked viral challenges that kill children all along, but only acted after lawsuits and public pressure.
The adolescent brain is vulnerable to social validation, making teens susceptible to dangerous viral challenges promoted by algorithms.
Meta followed a predictable Silicon Valley playbook: deny, minimize, blame users, claim technical impossibility, then suddenly 'solve' the problem when forced.
Former Meta employees reveal the company prioritized profit over safety, with capabilities to protect kids existing but unused.
Advocates urge keeping kids off social media, supporting the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), and demanding criminal accountability for Meta's negligence.
Meta's recent 'innovations' in teen safety are seen as PR moves, not genuine reform, with protections being 'theater until proven otherwise.'
