Sadly this isn't new. In my opinion it's allowed for two reasons: No uproar and because it is a US company. If it were a Chinese or Russian owned company for example the company and their apps would have been completely blocked, sanctioned and fined. I doubt we will see an uproar or shitstorm about this unless some celebrity is caught doing it. I also doubt a US company will be punished in any meaningful form for allowing this. I'd say ban use of the apps in your house and let them use Tiktok instead (it does lock down profiles for children as default). I've given up warning against this.
