    The fact that they’re willing to pay teenagers to keep quiet says a lot. If the apps were really as safe as they claim, you’d think they’d want to prove it in court rather than settle quietly. Hard to take all those speeches about protecting kids seriously after that.

      Read Careless People by Sarah from Meta/Facebook. She paints a picture where they are ran by people who are clearly sociopaths (obvious), but she mentions how none of them let their children use the very products they built/build. They go to Montessori schools and use nothing but wood toys from what I remember hearing.

      You took them seriously before?
      Why?
      Their whole business revolves around exploitation and lying. And exploitation. And lying.
