Meta aren't even moderating anymore.

That's why they're getting banned from everywhere

I've reported illegal incitement on numerous occasions and nothing ever gets done. I've reported violent incitement and it is never against community standards

We have gel blaster companies advertising to states in Australia where they are banned and vape companies using meta to push more vaping to kids

Fuck them

That's how you know it's probably a good idea.

Personally I'd go a step further and regulate algorithmic feeds in general. It's pretty clear at this point that feeding people a steady drip of content picked to maximize "engagement" above all else has done incalculable damage.

Ofc the epstein class doesn't want that. They'd lose out on children to victimize.

There is a reason that gambling is regulated (in some countries). Why not do the same for addictive mechanisms in social media? You wouldn't need to ban social media for children then. 🙄

"How will we be able to groom kids?"

Fuck me I hate this so much because the UK just throwing mass surveillance on everything is hardly a win and that is the method they are looking at.

Whitehouse can fuck off

Social media is the new religion. Start em young and get the hooked!

Belfast is currently burning in many places. Loads of the rioters are young lads in their teens. While the word of mouth played some role, the bulk of the blame for facilitating the organisation of these riots falls onto social media. This is not the first time, not will it be the last time unless social media is available only to people old enough to have some common sense.

i'm with donny boy here. instead of limiting what people can do, push regulation that forbid corporations from building the kind of software that is bad for your mental health. ban infinite scrolling features, algorithmic feeds, and dark patterns. make the fines equal or higher than gdpr because now it's about people's actual health.

...that's what they want instead, right?

I bet the real reason they're taking this position is because then the under 16s couldn't be manipulated through social media. They'd lose a valuable target of propaganda.

It would be great to clip those over 78 from social media, too.

Send Nana some actual photos.

Careful now your true motivations are showing.

Because that's how the tech bros get new talent for their deranged orange leader. /s

How will we brain wash them with US propaganda if you ban it!!!!

Think of th children

“American companies need access to all those impressionable, developing minds.”

It’s algorithmic, targeted advertising that’s the real problem.

IMO, the same advert should be shown to all users (at least per country) so that targeting political bullshitting / “advertising” can be knocked on the head, as well as the adverts logged in a public system so they can be reviewed and the funder identified.

if this regime is urging your country not to do something, they're probably planning an exploit

How are the Christians gonna groom them if they get too old?

Oh, I'm sure its only because they are worried about online privacy and digital freedom.

Of course, how else will the pedos find and abduct the kids. Social media makes their job easier.
