Facebook Let Kids Rack Up Charges on Parents' Credit Cards

  This appears to be the 'article zero' for these reports: https://www.revealnews.org/article/facebook-knowingly-duped-game-playing-kids-and-their-parents-out-of-money/ https://www.revealnews.org/article/facebook-knowingly-duped-...

    I submitted that link to HN last night, and it was subsequently incorrectly marked as a dupe. Strange. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18995823 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18995823

      I agree: I don't consider this news to be a duplicate, but a follow-up with the now unsealed court documents.

      Since users have made the case that that article contains significant new information (the test we use for non-dupiness), we've unmarked it as a dupe. That makes the current submission the dupe, so I've merged the comments from this thread into that one. We will roll back the clock on the latter, since users obviously want to discuss this.

  So what is going to happen to them as a result of this?
