Your quoted sentence explicitly says "from a business perspective". No human being would prioritize constant growth over harming children. "No" meaning the overwhelming majority of human beings, including those employed at Facebook, ignoring a handful of sociopaths who are going to raise stupid objections like "but I don't have kids" or "but I'm not a kid" or "what if those kids are part of an outgroup to me"/ But Meta/Facebook is not a human being. It is a corporate being, composed mostly of humans with some computers and internal processes and external regulations... but at scale, it is not like a human. Do not anthropomorphize the corporate being. Increasingly automated large and (financially) efficient businesses are proving that they are not able to be steered by individuals making personal moral decisions. An individual has some autonomy to direct their own work in a given direction, but at the scale of a 1.9 trillion dollar company, those individual choices are far less important than the legal and fiscal frameworks that create incentives and penalties for various actions. The corporate being exists to make money. It's a super-organism, with an ecology of power structures and internal competitions that continuously work to improve its ability to make money. Opportunities to raise a moral concern that will cause it to make less money do not survive in this environment. It has a limited capacity for forward planning, looking at an issue like negative PR for harms to child safety and applying pressure to avoid that local minimum, but mostly it optimizes for quarterly ROI.
