All a dog and pony show. Musk and Zuckerberg kicked me off their platforms. Why? Because I’m a white, college educated woman. As Peter Thiel’s guy says, THEIR NUMBER ONE ENEMY. There’s your legitimate lawsuit. Suppressing dissent. Now they don’t want our kids to know as they mature into voters.

I’m a white 76-year-old grandma thst FB banned for ‘child exploitation.’ Talk about transference. What a criminal enterprise. I’m glad to be rid of Meta but sad I lost connections Facebook facilitated. Why does everything start out (supposedly) with good intentions but end up corrupted by $?

Projecting their crimes onto you! The Epstein fraternity did this with QAnon as well. Those weirdos stalked me relentlessly as I’d shop with my daughter. Probably told I was Ghislaine Maxwell or something. They should be in jail for this crap.

(Meta) Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and X were used to recruit victims for Epstein’s Island. Shut them down. #trump_epstein_files #pedophile_trump #pedophile_prince_andrew #felon_trump #rapist_trump #pedophile_musk #pedophile_zuckerberg

This is a pittance within the scope of Meta’s wealth & future profits. It’s pocket change. Did they admit wrong doing? Are they going to make meaningful changes? Are they going to stop tracking kids for promotional business? Report sexual predators activities. Setup policies controlling ads to kids

Too easy for them. It should have been pursued. Meta will only riggle out of any responsibilities or penalties. Plus, what about the damage to adults? It's like crack cocaine to them/us too. If it was crack it would be illegal. To save ourselves from lies and propaganda we need to pull the plug.

THIS IS NOT REMOTELY ENOUGH TO ACCOUNT FOR THE DAMAGE HE HAS CAUSED TO THIS COUNTRY. AMERICANS NEED TO OWN UP TO BUYING INTO THE ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOURS THEY ARE DROWNING US IN... AND SAY NO. BUT SO MUCH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE. ENOUGH.

Poor baby! Now the government should go after him for all the women and men they allow to be scammed on its platform that they keep telling me have not violated any community standards.

I have grandparents that are so hopelessly addicted to this Meta Facebook doom scrolling AI generated content it's crazy. Literally scrolling all day, during conversations with real people, during movies... Totally addicted. They will die looking at the screen.

I’ll fly in to see my 70 year old parents and they will hang out and talk with me for about two days before they’re back on their devices. Conversations often turn to them describing posts or videos in their feed. Luckily, their algorithm has actually made them more liberal, so it could be worse.

What an entitled little POS he is. I’m sure it will be swept under the rug while he goes on destroying the lives of more children. He deserves prison along with Bezos & Musk. And NOT a country club prison.

Guessing this will spur numerous other law suits, as it has now been proven that mighty Meta can be beaten in court, and the fast settlement shows that Meta still has much to hide.

I filed a lawsuit against Facebook For Harrssment Falsely accusing me of violating the account rules Which was a lie I reported it To FTC and The FBI and The FCC A court date is set for October 1st 2026

A month of profit spread over many years and only if others also pay. Stop posting like it is significant. It’s a slap on the wrist.

They did not want the deets aired in public. Like the tobacco companies the consumers will end up paying the fines through their data being monitized.

The main reasons for SUCKerberg to settle are to lower costs, save time, guarantee outcome (clearly he was uncertain he could win), privacy (details remain secret) and less stress. That is how Mark buys his peace of mind. No scruples, no morals, no values, no principles. No honor among thieves.

The more fundamental question is, whether digital community products, that have the means to alter cultural & societal change, remain in the private hands. Culture & society should be set by democratic processes (ie citizens) & not shareholders of one enterprise.

The product changes that Meta has agreed to will apply to Instagram and Facebook and will focus on both features and time limits. In a separate announcement detailing the settlement, Meta urged YouTube and TikTok to adopt similar changes to their platforms. www.wired.com/story/meta-w...

Advocates for children tell WIRED that Meta’s legal settlement to address concerns about teenagers’ use of social media proposes important and overdue feature changes that invite more parental oversight than ever before. www.wired.com/story/the-me...

wired.comThe Meta Settlement Will Put Limits on Instagram for Teens. They’re Still VulnerableChild safety groups and former Meta employees welcome proposed changes to how the company’s platforms will work for teens. They also think states should have demanded more.

New Mexico was the FIRST to SUE that A-HOLE. WE got ALMOST $1BILLION, ALONE, for OUR State!!! META MET New Mexico and LOST in a JURY COURTROOM!!!

What's $16.7M to a corporation worth trillions? Of course they settled -- the bad publicity alone cost them a lot more than that. I wonder why anybody bothers to visit Meta sites anymore? They're so passe.

LAWUSUITS…. More…. Facebook is trying to get the govt to go after competitors. Fuck that the govt should keep suing meta. They wanted to be the monopoly social media company. They responsible for our shit job market and enshitification of the third space Make. Them. Pay.

Who else can sue? Keep that motherfucker in Court indefinitely. And tax the ever living daylights out of him as well. Fuck up his life for a change. Have a nice day Zuckerberg you Sonderkommando fuck.

We knew he wasn’t a desirable character when he started a website as a Harvard undergraduate that graded the appeal (sexual) of his female (& unobtainable) students….I don’t think he even graduated but he’s just a grade 1 loser by any standard

$1.4 Trillion in estimated damages across 29 states. Settled for $16 Billion aka 0.12% of the estimated damages. It's good to be a corporation! Also, everyone should read "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams about the folks at the top of Meta. You'll probably puke.

Just imagine it is willing to pay $16.7 billion how many other billion dollars do they have but they’re trying to protect? It seems $50 billion would be more appropriate. $1 billion to every state for education? Healthcare? Civics education? Sex trafficking protection?

You know the word settlement in legalese is just another way to say a slap on the wrist. He’s getting away with heavy criminal offenses just like every technocrat billionaire. They never suffer the consequences. It’s getting old. They’ve wronged so many, can’t wait to see their karma.

The new features should be for everyone not just teens. 2 hour social media limit, no nighttime posting and no notifications would be good for society at large.
