Meta made $60 billion in profits last year; they can spend some of that to figure out how to protect children from harmful content on their platform.

"apps must know the age of their users"

Let me guess, biometric ID

amazing cope.

we literally have Face ID and passkeys everywhere.

they'll get it right. there are secondary verifications.

the problem is they lose out the young generation, and the cool.

existential risk. big lobbying effort like this.

it's not a dilemma.
