  15. Hook, hold, harvest and hide: Meta’s alleged strategy laid out in first week of landmark trial

    "Meta’s business can be boiled down to four words that begin with the letter H: hook, hold, harvest, hide, according to a lawyer who is prosecuting the world’s largest social media company.

    The owner of Facebook and Instagram “hooks” in users, “holds” them on its platforms for as long as possible, “harvests” their data and then “hides” the truth from the public, she argued.

    “Meta’s business model worked especially well for kids,” said Megan O’Neill, a lawyer for the state of California.

    Her accusation opened the blockbuster trial against the US tech company on Tuesday in Oakland, California, just north of Meta’s headquarters in Silicon Valley. California has joined 28 other US states in suing the £1tn ($1.36tn) company for allegedly designing addictive products that lead to children being harmed."

    “Can we talk … in private?” The man was nervous, hands wringing like a little boy in trouble, though he was perhaps a decade older than I am.
