  4. FACEBOOK IS TOXIC. META IS AWFUL.
    WHY CONTINUE FEEDING IT? 💎

    Nearly everyone complains about Facebook and Meta.

    The algorithms are toxic.

    The advertising is invasive.

    The outrage is manufactured.

    CHILDREN ARE BEING HARMED.

    Privacy is disappearing.

    And then millions of people open Facebook or Instagram.

    Again.

    And again.

    I genuinely do not understand it.

    If you believe these companies are damaging children, manipulating attention, and making billions from human vulnerability, why are you still giving them your presence?

    Especially the parents.

    If Facebook and Instagram are unhealthy for your children, what exactly are you modeling by remaining there yourself?

    “We know this place is harmful, darling, but Mummy and Daddy have photographs to look at.”

    I left Meta years ago.

    I didn’t die.

    My friends did not evaporate.

    Civilization continued.

    There is email.

    There are phones.

    THERE IS THE OPEN WEB.

    There is even the terrifying possibility of seeing another human being, god forbid, in person.

    Meta survives because people who complain about it continue supplying exactly what it needs:

    Their attention.

    Their relationships.

    Their outrage.

    THEIR CHILDREN.

    You do not have to wait for Zuckerberg to become a better person.

    You can simply leave today.

    The door swings both ways.

  5. 🎉 Hooray! #Apple just dodged a bullet, but the judge gave them a stern wag of the finger, implying digital privacy trumps child safety. Lawyers celebrate while users ponder if their #iCloud is now the Wild West of cloud storage. 🚫🔍📱

  6. Florida has filed the first state lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman, framing ChatGPT as an unsafe product that endangers children. At the same time, Meta is lobbying to attach broad immunity from child‑harm lawsuits to the Kids Online Safety Act, in exchange for dropping its opposition to the bill.

    Taken together, these moves illustrate how “child safety” is being instrumentalized in US tech governance. State‑level product‑liability suits against AI vendors may play a useful role in testing the boundaries of responsibility, but they are emerging alongside efforts by incumbent platforms to secure federal preemption and liability shields for their own engagement‑driven architectures. Without a broader, rights‑based regulatory framework, there is a real risk that these dynamics will entrench existing business models rather than systematically protect minors and other vulnerable users in digital environments.
