I need to know, exactly how is it Facebook or Zuckerberg's fault that these kids were talking to insidious perverted adults online? I don't see any particular way that what Facebook offers is objectively more unsafe than any other IM provider. Facebook fucking sucks, but if your kid wants to talk to the candy man online, they'll find out how. Like, this isn't a discussion on how "social media affects kids brains", it's a discussion on how evil Facebook allowed children to be sexually exploited by predators.
The chief executives of the nation's top social media companies were grilled on Wednesday on Capitol Hill over child safety, with the tech leaders seeking to defend their companies from accusations that they've failed to protect kids from exploitation and abuse.
So again, how is this any different than the IM client that IG offers? Snapchat? Discord? Telegram? Signal? Teams? Twitter? Tumblr? Roblox? Fortnite? CSGO?
