🐍 Not shocked by #Meta or the kind of people they put in charge of their “digital experiences for kids”¹.
Exactly the kind of person to entrust with social media #ageverification (calls, live videos, photographs etc.).
I mean they already love scanning messages for child sexual abuse material via #ChatControl².
☑️ Entrust children’s data to the people literally caught exploiting them, all under the banner of protecting kids?

When I read teen I assumed 18 or 19, because when do headlines ever shy away from using the most specific and horrifying term.
But no, it was a 13 year old. So a “minor”, rather than just a “teen”!
