I don't quite understand why those activists expect companies to watch kids. It's parents' job. Facebook and Instagram are like big malls. Don't leave your child unattended. A mall is not a kindergarten. Educate parents on how they can protect their kids and make them responsible for it. That is how it's supposed to work. Now internet companies are forced to become nannies for both children and their parents, this is ridiculous. And we must suffer with the the UK fascist laws regarding internet and upcoming EU chat control nonsense because some parents can't watch their children.

Meta markets products as safe for kids and offers products to reinforce this for parents and regulators but they’re not actually keeping kids safe. Meanwhile, kids die. That’s less an issue of parenting and more one of corporate responsibility.
