Addiction aux réseaux sociaux : Meta et Google condamnés, la Silicon Valley vacille - Les mots ont un sens

Ce n’est pas juste une indemnisation de plus. C’est peut-être un basculement : Instagram et YouTube ne sont plus seulement des espaces d’expression, mais des produits dont le design peut blesser.

Instead we need to ban #addiction mechanics like #doomscrolling aka. #InfiniteScrolling as well as #Algorithms that reward #RageBait, #ClickBait and #HateBait garbage!

Circular reasoning can be harmful to kids!

Because predatory capitalist firms programmed their social media to be extremely addictive, we must not ’protect the kids’ from it by adding extremely invasive mass surveillance protocols everywhere!

Zuck looks like a rabbit in the headlights in the pic. And how’s the arrogance in this statement: “Meta said it respectfully disagreed with the verdict and was evaluating its legal options.”

Good that the article also mentions:

“In a separate case this week, a jury in New Mexico found Meta violated state law by misleading users about the safety of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp and of enabling child sexual exploitation on those platforms.
