It’s a GOOD thing those platforms are mainly used by Republicans nowadays! SURELY they’ll put an end to it right? Republicans aren’t sexually harassing children right?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Meta estimates about 100,000 children using Facebook and Instagram receive online sexual harassment each day, including “pictures of adult genitalia”, according to internal company documents made public late Wednesday.

The unsealed legal filing includes several allegations against the company based on information the New Mexico attorney general’s office received from presentations by Meta employees and communications between staff.

The filing is the latest in a lawsuit initiated by the New Mexico attorney general’s office on 5 December, which alleges Meta’s social networks have become marketplaces for child predators.

Meta issued a statement in response to Wednesday’s filing: “We want teens to have safe, age-appropriate experiences online, and we have over 30 tools to support them and their parents.

In a July 2020 internal Meta chat, one employee asked: “What specifically are we doing for child grooming (something I just heard about that is happening a lot on TikTok)?” According to the complaint, he received a response: “Somewhere between zero and negligible.”

Yet, an internal 2017 email describes executive opposition to scanning Facebook Messenger for “harmful content” because it would place the service “at a competitive disadvantage vs other apps who might offer more privacy”, the lawsuit states.

The original article contains 606 words, the summary contains 197 words. Saved 67%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

i like how while all of this is happening, the governments do absolutely nothing to stop it. But as soon as encryption or anything that prevents them from spying comes into the play, they try their hardest to outlaw it to “protect the children”

These corporations are like honey badgers. They don’t give a shit as long as the profits keep increasing. I think I just dated myself.

When I was on facebook, many years ago, I was friends with my tween nieces. I wanted to stay a presence on their pages so that they would have someone to turn to if they had problems.

I CANNOT FUCKING TELL YOU HOW MANY PROBLEMS WERE HAD… JFK that place is a nightmare for young girls.

Statistically speaking, that means a child gets sexually harassed on Facebook every 0.864 seconds.

I love the line about "we have 30 tools for [preventing this thing that keeps happening from happening] ". It’s marketing-speak all the way down. Like, wow! Thirty tools!

can stop saying facebook didn’t do bad thing yet

I wonder how they got that 100,000 number. Does Meta see the messages sent over their platforms?

But do they have cred?
