Dispatch.

It’s important to remember that Meta has hidden behind Section 230 for so long that people like Mark Zuckerberg thought they were bulletproof. Meta’s team of attorneys bet on the fact that these documents would never see the light of day because a product liability case would never make it to trial, and they guessed wrong,” said Sacha Haworth, Executive Director of The Tech Oversight Project. “Never-before-seen documents prove that Zuckerberg lied to Congress. We know that they will lie, bury research, and continue recklessly harming young people until Congress forces them to clean up their act. The only way to outlaw Meta’s dangerous and egregious behavior is to pass legislation, like the Kids Online Safety Act, which will hold their feet to the fire and force them to protect children and teens.

One, holy shit. And that was over twenty years ago: there is zero possibility it's gotten any better since.

Two, I love this woman's blunt honesty. Her take on all of it is fantastic, especially how the "they're missing something behind their eyes" was so accurate. It's just horrible how she came to have that knowledge.

Three, read the transcript if you can't sit still for the whole thing, but either way try to make it to the end. After she gets done with her own personal experiences, she's all,

So anyways, fuck Harvard. Fuck these institutions. Fuck their respectability. They're crucibles for rapists and pedophiles. And the most powerful people on earth are the scum of the fucking earth. And we need to take back our power from them.

But the difference is now you know exactly why she says that, and with the power and force of her entire being. Shit, I would too.
