      But they did such a great job of feeding the world’s most problematic corporations government IDs and photo identification of minors and storing it in databases ripe for hackers.

      Brought to you by the government whose national health network failed its security audit last year, and had 13 million records breached through a 3rd party the year before that.

          “Protecting the kids” was never the goal.

              I think what we really needed is laws to hold meta accountable.

              At the moment there is a shitload of criminal incitement, and meta no longer moderates anything. That’s the real problem. Which is kind of why the bans are needed. But they don’t solve the underlying cause
