Whole lot of people are not understanding the point. Of course there are kids on the internet. And on Facebook. That's what the article (and lawsuit) are saying. And of course Meta knows it. That is exactly why Meta needs to stop their psychologically manipulative and harmful practices. Identifying who is a kid is not working well enough. Preventing kids from accessing services and being manipulated and harmed is not working well enough. Kids will access these websites, and when they do, it isn't a fair fight. They're taking their developing brains and going up against billion dollar algorithms designed by armies of professional psychologists to manipulate them to maximize "engagement". And unsurprisingly, this is having negative effects. Facebook cannot claim they don't know this - everyone knows this. They need to change how they treat everyone, if they can't exclude kids. Kids are killing themselves because of Facebook. We need to stop this manipulation across the board.
