      I had the same reaction, but then… Do you think they care?

      They’re probably the most installed application worldwide. Definitely the most installed social media application worldwide.

      I just googled it, and the top result was Facebook, and then Instagram. If that’s correct, “fucking go right ahead, I guess? Kick me off your platforms. I already dominated both of them.” -zuck, probably.

        Consider that result if apple and google suddenly yanked the app off the store, within 5 years facebook wouldnt exist on mobile devices.

      Then it’s obviously Googles, Microsofts, Mozillas or whoevers job… but certainly not Metas!

    This is a hack.

    Not only will they save money on developing the functions, but it effectively sidesteps regulations by allowing kids to access adult material on their platform from another device without parental control.

    It’s basically a “have your cake and eat it too” position. We can only speculate that Zuckerbot 3000 wants an in to exploit kids.

    I’m out of the loop, what is going on that children are seeing that’s not okay?

    Don’t they have to be 13 for facebook anyway? And there’s already a Google safesearch. Isn’t it the parents job to monitor the kids? I really dont get what this fuss is about.

      That would be the sensible assumption. Alass the year is 2024, we vote in an orange man that admitted to playing the financial system, then an older man that sniffs children…

    It is you failing to engage in the conversation.

    You’re off having a different conversation. I have no obligation to partake. You can stay on topic or fart to the wind. Idgaf.
