David CulleyThis is why we have to fight "Age Verification" now, which is initiated and heavily lobbied for by Meta/Facebook.
Meta is on multiple trials for child exploitation, and they just lost one of them.
Instead of changing their platform or business model, they want a law that prohibits children using their platforms so that they can continue exactly as they do without facing more trials.

"At trial, Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram chief Adam Mosseri testified that “harms to children, such as sexual exploitation and detriments to mental health, were inevitable on the company’s platforms due to their vast user bases,”" Umm... if the problem is your platform is too big that it has to harm people then maybe the answer is "you can't be that big" https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/03/meta-loses-trial-after-arguing-child-exploitation-was-inevitable-on-its-apps/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social
