Why the fuck are kids on Meta services?

[โ€“] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Because Meta/Tiktok/others don't effectively block them from their services, despite the illegality and knowing who is young and who isn't, due to the insane amount of data they collect.

A Facebook exec a while ago literally said that kids are the best demographic to get hooked on your platform.
