Data collection should be limited by the government, that is not a decision to an avarage parent.
I've got no love for FB, or social media in general for that matter, but why are they suing them for it instead of coming up with actual regulation to address the issues? It's all just a show and the fact that barely anyone sees it means they are winning. You're all victims of propaganda.
I have no idea how US lawmaking works. I thought that through precedent cases they sometimes can enforce things and reach consensus.
I really don't think we need to keep adding more laws that no one will follow to be honest. The government acts like it cares about children, yet they budget laughable numbers to their education. We should be providing some of the best education programs in the world to our future generations. Give them the tools necessary to cut through the bullshit and make good decisions for themselves.
They want us to be morons so we rely on them to make decisions for us. It's sickening how many people eagerly just give away their agency.
This lawsuit has nothing to do with data collection
