Dissolve the company. Jail the C levels. End of story.

If this ends in another fine to put into a ledger book I'll scream. The fine ends up back in their pockets in months in the form of loans and grants and tax avoidances and so on.

The world no longer needs Facebook and its leaders. It does not need its technology. It does not need the ideas of the people that are there. If you are still working there, you are complicit in acting in a company that is actively seeking to control a populous.

I understand it's hard not to work for "big tech" and not work for a company trying to control populous.

So yes. I agree. Stop letting them play games with the rules we spent generations putting in place to protect our citizenship.

>Child Safety laws are just mass surveillance in disguise which has always been Meta's game plan since day one.

I thought they were pushing for on-device age verification, which from a "mass surveillance" perspective is pretty bad? If you wanted mass surveillance, you'd want mandatory ID verification by sites and/or government SSO, both of which allows you to capture a persistent identifier. Of course, meta isn't doing all this lobbying out of altruism. Doing on-device verification means they're off the hook for it, and google/apple has the shoulder the burden instead.

I seriously doubt that the FaceMash guy was planning mass surveillance from day one. The people who propped him up might have, though.

So you want them to be held responsible when kids use their platform, but you don't want them to be able to prevent kids from using it?
