Oh hell no!

Its been decades of work to even get social media to court.

No one wants to talk about this or look at the issues when it’s not sexy.

$@&$$ - I’ve been at conferences and had safety teams cry on my shoulder about how THEY don’t get engineering resources if they ask for it.

Tech platforms suppress so much research and hold so much data hostage, that an entire research coalition based on independence from tech.

Zuck and tech as a whole pivoted to drop safety investments the moment this government came to power.

And this is for user in frikking America !

The shit that is going down in the rest of the world is a curse. The sheer amount of NCII that exists, with zero recourse for people whose lives are destroyed is insane.

I think the question to ask here is, if both Meta and the current administration don't care about child safety, why is the age verification stuff going so smoothly? Is helping them do this really the right move?
