Employees fretted over company’s ‘negligible’ response to child grooming, according to internal documents made public in lawsuit
Meta estimates about 100,000 children using Facebook and Instagram receive online sexual harassment each day, including “pictures of adult genitalia”, according to internal company documents made public late Wednesday.
The unsealed legal filing includes several allegations against the company based on information the New Mexico attorney general’s office received from presentations by Meta employees and communications between staff. The documents describe an incident in 2020 when the 12-year-old daughter of an executive at Apple was solicited via IG Direct, Instagram’s messaging product.
I’m sure they’re ok with it, probably just chalk it up to “the cost of doing business” or some other nebulous bullshit that frees them of any responsibility whatsoever
That’s exactly what they’ll do. It’s the same thing that companies do every time they’re fined a pittance when one of their employees is killed on the job.
Yep! They make a shitload of money off kids (parents) so whatever fines they end up having to pay is just the cost of doing business. Meanwhile children are being groomed every day on their platforms.
