Ex-Meta leader criticizes Zuckerberg's growth focus
The U.S. authorities are accusing Meta of neglecting children's safety in favor of profit. A former company official stated that Mark Zuckerberg encouraged a focus on growth and engagement at the expense of protecting young users. The company faces charges of violating the law by illegally collecting and using data from children under the age of 13, as well as designing the platforms to make children addicted to using them, which has increased health risks such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Currently, there are extensive investigations underway, with expectations of policy changes, after testimonies confirmed that the company was aware of the harm its products caused to teenagers but chose to prioritize profits over safety.
