The annoying thing is, meta already knows a bunch of its users are minors, but it refuses to act on that information. It's like they're waiting until they can impose universal surveillance on everyone before it bothers doing anything.
Never mind that many things (like self-harm content on Instagram) should be banned regardless of the viewer's age, and that plenty of this regulation should be left up to parents anyway
