Facebook Watches Teens Online As They Prep for College – The Markup

An investigation by The Markup found Meta’s pixel tracking students from kindergarten to college

@TechDesk that perfectly describes most high school students I know. We desperately need regulations to block this targeting of kids.
I have speculated for a long time that these companies would have a serious interest in lifelong tracking:  baby photos posted on facebook by doting parents,  tracking in school, and monitoring social activities.

20 years later they could have a complete profile of a person
@TechDesk isn’t this covered by COPA?
