It is amazing how much internet bandwidth is wasted by stories like this... Expecting anything less that big tech favoring profits over EVERYTHING else is like expecting Sun not to rise tomorrow.
Yet somehow each of these stories always goes viral and everyone seems "stunned" like "how can this amazing human Zuck (the worst scum of the Earth as most other big tech CEOs are) do this!?? So surprising given his impeccable record as a decent human being who cares about the well-being of our children..."!!
- francisofascii 3y agoI think it is important to continually report stories like this, regardless of the expectations.
- bdangubic 3y agoThat seems super reasonable. However, I believe it has the opposite effect. Everyone with a shred of common sense gets numb to these stories which the effectively prepares us to be numb to even more outrageous stories that come after it
- lostmsu 3y agoIt is amazing how you jumped to "favoring profits" conclusion from this article, which doesn't even mention that the plans were rejected because there was no data supporting their effectiveness to any degree.

- lostmsu 3y agoAre ads the issue in question though? I've only seen echo chambers and predators for causes.
