From their point of view why wouldn't they, children become eyeballs, sorry adults with money to spend.

I've given up expecting corporations to be nice, I haven't quite given up on expecting them to obey the law, the bits they haven't written themselves anyway.

B-but they had that rainbow flag avatar thingy for LGBTQA folk! They can’t be the bad guys!

Jeez I quit Facebook like 6 years ago and never looked back. What’s the real need here? Old buddies you barely know of? Let them go.

Just drop FB, it’s not that important, and 70% of people are clearly (by reading all the “I quit Facebook drama posts”) over attached to it.

It is a red flag to not have social media

It is?

I have no social media accounts at all and never have. I thought the very idea of facebook was creepy when it launched and I've not changed my mind since.

Who will I be flagged by?

The advertisement on TV is heavily regulated, I hope we'll get the same thing on the internet before it's too late and a whole generation has lost its attention capacity.

Governments have a huge work to do in order to analyze what could be harmful and what is ok, and pass law about it.
