Meta should take FTC all the way to supreme court for their regulatory overreach and kneecap them, so that unelected, incompetent people don't bring their biased agenda to governing businesses https://about.fb.com/news/2023/05/upholding-our-commitment-t...

Well, that won’t go well since they agreed to a settlement.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The spokesperson is the voice of the company, what they say is supposed to represent the opinion of the company as a whole.

I bet the rank and file are not enraged by this and I would guess that the majority probably agree that Meta should not exploit children.

I agree that Meta should not exploit children, or society at large.

That's why I don't work there though. Don't think the "rank and file" have much leg to stand on, its a decade of this shit.

How can a corporation be furious? After reading the article, they don't say anything about the company or people inside the company being furious. The closest thing I could find is that a Meta spokesperson said they plan to fight it vigorously and expect to win. Maybe the headline should be "Meta opposed to proposed FTC ban on monetizing youth data".

Also schadenfreude as a means of engagement...
