I've been trying, in vain, to figure out whether it's true or not. The article doesn't say what Meta did to earn such a large fine. A reuters article on the same subject spoke of "child users between the ages of 13 and 17 who were allowed to operate business accounts, which facilitated the publication of the user's phone number and/or email address." [1] Frankly, this doesn't seem that bad at all. Revealing the phone and email address of a business account? Most business accounts want their official phone and email to be public. But the business accounts were made by 13-17 year olds? Some minors really do operate businesses, though. To be quite honest, it seems like the readers here are furious with Meta/Facebook for reasons that have nothing to do with the phone numbers and emails of European children. This story has nothing to do with the thing we'd really love to be having a grand ol' fight about right now-- which is whether Facebook endangered American democracy by censoring conservatives too much, or by not censoring them enough.
