Not ignored. They weaponized that info internally. And had a road map of potential liabilities and damages that may be involved.

Facebook used to have a team dedicated to analyzing their apps’ risks to children’s and teenager’s health. The team concluded that there are indeed many serious health risks for both children and teenagers, especially teenage girls. Shortly after, it got disbanded, and all its recommendations completely ignored.

When the news about that came out, I deleted my Facebook profile and tried to tell all my friends/family using FB that … this is pure fucking evil and they should also get off FB.
They all gaslit me and acted like I was a paranoid delusional maniac.

They took all that data and used it to exploit the kids.

But really, who wouldn’t? They’re not our kids! Well, nearly 100% of them aren’t. Little Johnny will forgive papa for it one day right?
