So why do managers who ignore staff warnings always get off Scott free?
Any links to Epstein are entirely irrelevant.....
I predict this will be tied up in appeals until the day SCOTUS or the executive sniff these suits out.
So they want us to believe that the company that knowingly profited from genocide in Myanmar also knowingly profited from child exploitation? Really? OK then, I can believe that.
Go figure, a company that exploits habits is found guilty of exploiting children....
look, if the children didn't want to become victims then why did they make themselves so sexy
-- Meta defense (probably)
People just need to get off these platforms. Enless I can just pop off I don't want what you got and these techno turdz can eat my arse. Facebook needs to die along with roblox
The details of evasion tactics they used where even harder to read. How fucking irresponsible and outright fucked up do you have to be to OK this shit. Wow.
The robot is tired.
The normal appeal and out of court settlement. The f'n lawyers always win.
“We respectfully disagree with the verdict and will appeal. We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms and are clear about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors or harmful content,” said a Meta spokesperson. “We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously, and we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online.” Internal Meta documents and testimony obtained by the New Mexico department of justice during the litigation revealed that both company employees and external child safety experts repeatedly warned about risks and harmful conditions on Meta’s platforms. Evidence presented to the jury included details of the 2024 arrest of three men charged with sexually preying on children through Meta’s platforms, and attempting to meet up with them. This was part of a sting investigation operated by undercover agents and dubbed “Operation MetaPhile” by the attorney general’s office.
