Meta watches our kids’ every move and intentionally designed its platforms to keep them scrolling. Meta knew this screen time addiction was driving kids to spiral into depression, starve themselves, and die by suicide. Instead of protecting kids, it buried the proof there was a problem. We cannot stop here. Meta and other Big Tech companies are rushing out surveillance AI with the exact same disregard for child safety and human life. It is time to break up their monopolies and stop their personalized predation before another child gets hurt.” | 1 | 2026-08-28T17:11:49Z | 2026-08-28T17:13:14Z |
