The fine might just be the start
In the next phase of the legal proceedings, due to begin on 4 May, the attorney general’s office will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that “offer stronger protections for children”, said Torrez.
The design feature changes the state is seeking include “enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors”.

Intentional Kessler syndrome?
- Comment on How the Iran war could derail the AI boom 2 weeks ago:
AI boom is a poor choice of words, and I don’t believe the article’s starting paragraph.
For more than three years, AI has propped up global trade and investment and pushed stock markets from the US to Asia to record highs.
However, there is a boom in spending in AI, whether that actually yields anything or not. I read the article as meaning derailing that.

You make a good point. I read it as “people who aren’t enthralled by the machine can take back control”. The vast majority of people have little say in this show.

The real bubble is not stock valuations but the inflated ego of an industry that thinks it is just one more datacentre away from computational divinity.
