0:16 - Attorneys general from 42 states have united to sue Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. The lawsuit alleges that #Meta deliberately designed its platforms to target children, with serious consequences for their mental health. This lawsuit, filed in a California federal court, claims that Meta has violated state and federal laws. It asserts that the company has used powerful technologies to engage and ensnare young users for profit, disregarding the potential harm to their well-being. The lawsuit further accuses Meta of ignoring research indicating that social platforms can harm young users, causing sleep problems, attention issues, and feelings of exclusion. #ChamberofCommerce
1:21 - Last week, The Australian e-Safety Commission, which serves as the online safety regulator issued a significant fine of 610,500 Australian dollars, equivalent to $386,000 US dollars, against #X. This represents another setback for the #ElonMusk owned social media platform. The commission fined the platform for "falling short" in disclosing information on how it handles child sex abuse content. According to the e-Safety Commission, X failed to adequately respond to various questions regarding its approach to combating child abuse materials. Some questions went unanswered, sections were left blank, and some responses were incomplete or inaccurate. It would interest you to know that almost all big tech companies are facing regulatory scrutiny in Australia. In an earlier report, the Australian regulator found "serious shortfalls" in how #Apple, #Meta, #Microsoft, #Skype, #Snap, #WhatsApp, and #Omegle, address online child sexual exploitation. Should there be more countries doing this? We want to hear your thoughts below!
