Meta (Facebook) collected children's data

CNN reports that Meta collected children’s data from Instagram accounts, unsealed court document alleges :

Since at least 2019, Meta has knowingly refused to shut down the majority of accounts belonging to children under the age of 13 while collecting their personal information without their parents’ consent, a newly unsealed court document from an ongoing federal lawsuit against the social media giant alleges.

Facebook (Meta) knew.

One Meta product designer wrote in an internal email that the “young ones are the best ones,” adding that “you want to bring people to your service young and early,” according to the lawsuit.

And slimily did move forward.

Nothing shocks me anymore. That Facebook has the shadiest practices is not surprising.
