Meta told to pay $375m for misleading users over child safety

The owner of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp has been found liable by a court in New Mexico.

Maybe I'm just getting old and cynical but, while I think current social media is bad for children, I'm very suspicious of the current international agreement that it's time to take action, especially with all the ID verification coming from multiple avenues

That's because we should be regulating the social media industry rather than regulating social media users.

Unfortunately, social media users don't have billions of dollars to spend on lobbying and related activities around the world.
