Meta saw the grave premonitions from ai firms as a means of edging out legacy firms through regulatory capture.
- vintermann 2mo agoMeta is by far the worst at doing regulatory capture of the big companies: they're the one big tech company it's OK to hate and want to die even if you're a politician. Not saying they're not trying.
- robotnikman 2mo agoI saw a report recently that they are behind 80% of the lobbying for age gate laws in the US. Obviously for their benefit.
- vintermann 2mo agoSocial media bans are obviously not to Meta's benefit. Meta has to spend a ton of lobbying money on at least avoiding them being held responsible for kids circumventing them (which, let's be real, they inevitably will). The only reason they might succeed is that the surveillance industry would love to put it on edge devices instead. I don't think this undermines what I wrote.
