It’s the welcoming of surveillance with open arms! IF “protecting the children” is what we’re after, TRULY honestly after, then social media would be banned for anyone under the age of 18!
The fact that Zuck KNOWS this (Meta and its current format) is the problem he pushes all blame to everyone and everything else. And like IDIOTS the government listens-mostly because they’re all bought and paid for anyway. FB did studies back in 2014 (that’s right over 12 years ago) or earlier to prove it wasnt addictive, and found it to be worse than they thought so they buried it!
My guess is, before the hearing, Zuck and crew agreed this is the way to get gov off his back and also get gov MORE data and surveillance. It’s a win-win. Every obedient citizen who doesn’t know/understand technology says “OK I guess” and everyone else with half a spine and understanding… Takes a stand!!
Facebook first released for 18+ users as it was for college and you needed your school’s .edu address to open an account. To grow the userbase, it was opened up to more and more users which then lead to more and more deceptive practices to always get that YoY growth.
Meanwhile, it acts as an escape from reality as people hate their own lives, and “influencers” are the fakest ones feeding consumerism to others, because “if you do this one thing you can be good too” shit.
Personally, if you directly do anything to mislead/misguide others for your own selfish gain, you should feel awful about holding back those around you, instead of working together to fight the system! Unfortunately, right now, too many people feel inadequacies, so we’re getting to the point where we say “fuck it” and so we do anything to get ahead…
The TL;DR is: It’s no longer about connecting people, it’s about money, data, and control! Pretty much ALL social media is a cancer designed to keep users engaged to distract them from the shitty world around them as it falls apart.
In the wise words of Sam Flynn, “We need to work together, it’s the only way!” 😁
I know that’s what you’re talking about, and honest to God I’m being serious that it’s so offense and disgusting for anyone NOT in gov to support this!! It’s THAT fucking crazy!!
I don’t care if you’re left or right leaning. This is not a political thing at all, it’s purely bowing to the fucking overlords with money who give NO FUCKING SHITS about anyone else!

I’m not talking about the age verification, I’m talking about hanging people who support it. Y’all need to get a sense of perspective.
