They should make him wear those dumb fuck glasses in court with the cameras taped over
This is a public health crisis akin to smoking. Any company that runs an ad supported, algorithm-based site that uses surveillance to target ads, propaganda, and increase engagement should be handled in the same manner as tobacco companies.
They know their product is harming people's mental health. Not just children, but adults as well. They've always known. They designed it this way and now they're lying about the harm it's doing. Just like tobacco companies lied. Just like oil companies have lied.
They should have to fund an education campaign against their own product, to continue to expose what an utter pile of shit their business model is until they're forced to change or go out of business.
I wish some good would come from the trial. All I see is Zuck getting slapped with a 0.02% net worth fine and a heavy push for ID verification on websites.
ID verification is essentially giving them exactly what they want. The whole goal of surveillance capitalism is to match online profiles across multiple sites, services, and even devices to a single person's identity.
Might as well just send them credit reports, bank statements, and a picture of everyone's butthole while we're at it.
Exactly this!!!! ID verification is a huge part of this whole push; our oppressors want nothing more than complete and total control of the magnifying glass into our lives that is social media, and the ability to verify and cross reference individual identities into a centralized database using the wealth of data we willingly dump into social media is a huge boon to their efforts.
