In the next phase of the legal proceedings, due to begin on 4 May, the attorney general’s office will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that “offer stronger protections for children”, said Torrez.

The design feature changes the state is seeking include “enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors”.

Unclear how age verification would play out with their Digital Childhood Alliance efforts.

And that shit is why I'm hesitant to endorse these big tech lawsuits

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Because you think they are conspiracies with goals to spy on you?

[–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Because we KNOW they do.

The victims of child exploitation? Or the lawyers representing them? Or..?

I promise you whatever happens it won't be good for the rest of us.

Which is exactly why that won't happen. Our president is a pedophile. There's a whole network of wealthy pedophiles who no longer have an island. The pedophiles are in power.

You know there's that jet tracker app?

It's not hard to figure out where the pedos at.
