Anyone else not give a flying fukk about Facebook's scandals?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Why am i supposed to care that parents aren't good enough parents to keep their kids off the internet?

Why am I supposed to care that dumbasses will find a way like a weed in concrete to infest every ideological crack with their bullshyt and facebook is just the online walmart of the moment. They're gonna squirm over to the next fad platform anyways

why am i supposed to be surprised that they drive an algorithm to drive traffic?

Why am I supposed to care about a voluntary decision to use that hell site?!

Shut it down or shut the fukk up. I can't believe people are up in arms over this.

Same reason people have been and continue to be up in arms over a mask that only needs to be worn in public.

Not every kid has parents or responsible Ones.
Every fad platforms get acquired by Facebook to stop competition.
They lie and say they don't do it as much as they have been accused of.
If a product is unsafe it's taken off the market. The law never leaves it up to the individuals. What are you talking about?

There’s a lot of shyt hard to regulate because the barrier to information for laymen is hard to compile. Then there’s things that are easy to regulate based on your own behavior. I haven’t used Facebook for a decade. It’s so hard for me to think regulating stupid is as easy as telling Facebook how to behave.

Social media giant becoming an actual media giant and has algorithms to skew instead of inform the populace. Why wouldn't I be worried?

Now what's this kid monitoring thing you're talking about?

Questions like this leaves a bigger question unanswered: to what extent are parents successful in protecting their children online?

It's easy to only look at the negatives, but I have to wonder if Facebook is overstepping its bounds despite parents' best efforts, not specifically because of their failings.

It’s bigger than just good parenting, and it’s bigger than just kids. Social media as it currently is is doing a lot of harm to a lot of people.

Not one of your better takes.

Indeed.

And his original question doesn't take into account that this is a connected generation. What you don't allow your kids to do, means a lot less when their friends whose parents don't care is showing them everything on their device while at school/outside.

Most adults should understand this because it was the same thing with music. I grew up in a household where I was not allowed to listen to rap music but that sure didn't stop me when I went to my cousin's house. Social media is arguably much worse than any lyrics in some song.

But you care about Hunter Biden's scandals, so shut the fucc up.

Because their internal research says they do harm to kids as they are attempting to roll out a product to kids.

For years their excuse was that they were not content producers and merely a forum for people to share and ingest information and ideas.

As we know now, their targeting algorithms they use to turn a profit show they have negatives affects on their audience.

We care because they are actively and knowing doing harm for profit. And like most things that's where regulators need to step in and take action.

Bottom line, there's no accountability here for them.

The problem isn't face book though. Its the idiots who are on Facebook. And no one wants to have THAT talk.

If I host an flea market and I knowingly allow people to sell illegal drugs there should I be held accountable?
