It’s important to remember that Meta has hidden behind Section 230 for so long that people like Mark Zuckerberg thought they were bulletproof. Meta’s team of attorneys bet on the fact that these documents would never see the light of day because a product liability case would never make it to trial, and they guessed wrong,” said Sacha Haworth, Executive Director of The Tech Oversight Project. “Never-before-seen documents prove that Zuckerberg lied to Congress. We know that they will lie, bury research, and continue recklessly harming young people until Congress forces them to clean up their act. The only way to outlaw Meta’s dangerous and egregious behavior is to pass legislation, like the Kids Online Safety Act, which will hold their feet to the fire and force them to protect children and teens.

I hope somewhere in this, someone points out that you cannot bookmark your friends feed. You can bookmark marketplace, or any other part of the site.

When you do manually navigate to your friends, you get pushed back to the infinite slop feed after almost every action.

They did this deliberately so you can't use facebook to keep tabs on your friends. You know, like it was originally built for.

It was originally built to creep on college women, so creeping on its users more generally now is just a continuation of exactly what it was built for.

They invited the target in, and realigned the cameras accordingly.

You have to let the algorithm decide how you should be creeping. Shh, sleep now, and scroll, and click.
