The recent filings proved how Zuckerberg was personally warned about how both of these apps can negatively affect the mental well-being of young audiences and potentially lead them to get addicted. But despite all those alarming concerns, the CEO couldn’t be bothered.
Experts reportedly told the billionaire that both of these platforms, which are owned by Meta Inc. were not on track in terms of providing a safe and secure environment for kids. It was struggling with an array of issues that may be alarming for young children including the likes of bullying, harassment, and illegal connections.
These are some huge issues that affect all creators including adults. But the latter is much better at coping with the issue as compared to their younger counterparts.
And if that news was not shocking enough, more reports are talking about how Meta has even defunded its mental health team. This is despite the fact that its leading executives continue to speak about how the company’s top priority is to keep children and teens secure from any vulnerabilities on the platforms.
But a recent report shown by Daily Mail says Meta’s spokesperson has refuted the claims and confirmed that there is zero truth in this. In fact, he says that the company is actually increasing funding to ensure such goals are taken care of.
He added that hundreds of workers are delegated with the task of making sure younger audiences are steer clear from threats of all kinds. And that includes Meta working on new tools to combat such incidents.
The lawsuit is definitely one that is nothing new. In fact, it’s an ongoing affair and so many people continue to allege the firm of carrying out activities that arise at the cost of children’s health. And for that, Meta is being dubbed selfish.
These complaints were seen being converted into the likes of class action lawsuits and now after hearing more damaging reports against the company’s own CEO, the matter is getting dubbed as a serious affair.
Meanwhile, the case has also gone on further to state how younger audiences are more susceptible to being affected by the adverse reactions linked to social media. Therefore, Meta needs to do more or face the consequences.
