So what happens when a company's own employees call themselves drug pushers and their product a drug and then their CEO has to explain that to a jury? We're about to find out. Meta employees call themselves drug pushers. Now their CEO has to explain that to a jury in a Los Angeles courtroom, one of 1500 suits pending. Meta finally has to defend why they engineered Instagram to addict traumatized.

kids, internal documents, FBI data showing 300 % spike in sextortion deaths and a decision to choose boosting ad revenue at the expense of children and mental health. Instead, launching facial recognition software in stupid looking glasses nobody asked for so strangers can dox you in public in seconds. Ryan Last was 17.

In just a few hours after being contacted on Instagram by cyber criminals, posing as a girl his age, he got sextorted and he was dead. He's not alone. There are many. The allegations say Metta had the tools to stop it. They chose ad revenue. 500 school districts said they've had enough. Big tech won't fix itself. So they sued and armed themselves with a mountain of evidence. TikTok and Snapchat

got brought into that suit and settled immediately after seeing the evidence. Metas fighting. This isn't about screen time or what you think good parenting is. It's about whether billion dollar companies answer to anyone when kids die using their product. Stay with me. This gets worse before it gets better, but we will share available resources parents and kids can use toward the end. This is cybercrime junkies.
