Given the vendor here, call me skeptical - OR some peeps who should KNOW better, are getting played here!

If META's settlement agreement with 29 states is all about improving child safely in social media - then why would the state AGs agree not to sue Meta under existing child safety laws over its retention and use of children’s data????

Meta's agreement says that the state AGs have agreed to “fully, finally, and forever” not to bring any past, present, or future COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) claims—or claims under similar state laws, re Meta’s use of children’s data.

BUT, COPPA is a FEDERAL law primarily enforced by the FTC, and not by the states. The FTC is not a party to this settlement, so what does that mean?

ALSO, it is not clear what data Meta will retain for training the model(s), how much behavioral information may be included, or how long it will retain the data. https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/27/buried-in-metas-18b-settlement-is-a-legal-pass-on-kids-data/ #AI #Meta #SocialMedia #Lawsuit #COPPA #ChildSafety #PersonalData #Privacy #1stAmendment #Behavioralinformation #DataPrivacy

#Meta settled a lawsuit with 52 state and local Attorneys General for nearly $17 billion. The #settlement includes features like time limits, night mode, and algorithmic feed control, and encourages other platforms like #YouTube and #TikTok to adopt similar measures. Critics argue that this settlement allows Meta to #influence #childsafety regulations and potentially harm user #privacy and #freedomofexpression. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/08/26/meta-just-paid-nearly-17-billion-to-make-sure-it-gets-to-write-the-kid-safety-rules-for-every-other-social-media-platform/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

Компанія #Meta запропонувала добровільно сплатити штраф у 18 мільярдів доларів та впровадити заходи для кращого захисту дітей і підлітків від шкідливого впливу своїх продуктів - #Фейсбук та #Інстаграм.
На такий крок їх навів перебіг суду за позовом 29 штатів #США, в якому були надані докази навмисного підсаджування неповнолітніх на нескінченне споживання їхнього контенту, та велика імовірність ще гіршого вердикту суду.

"Glen Hansard is no Irish hero", writes Rosemary Mac Cabe.

Rosemary says she'd like to file this under “things I may regret writing”. But then again, maybe she won’t. (She says "if you’ve been personally affected by the issues raised in this piece, I’m so sorry. And I believe you.")

When can I let my child use this microscope?

The box says: "Only for use by children ages 8 and up. Keep out of reach of animals and small children under 3 years of age." So children between three and eight years old can have it in their reach, but it's still not safe for them to use it, even with adult supervision? I'm not sure I understand the distinction. What danger could they experience by using it that they don't have just from touching it?

Clarification in this area is particularly important because VPNs are currently under attack in various ways.
