Meta has received more than 1.1 million reports of users under the age of 13 on its Instagram platform since early 2019 yet it “disabled only a fraction” of those accounts, according to a newly unsealed legal complaint against the company brought by the attorneys general of 33 states.
Instead, the social media giant “routinely continued to collect” children’s personal information, like their locations and email addresses, without parental permission, in violation of a federal children’s privacy law, according to the court filing. Meta could face hundreds of millions of dollars, or more, in civil penalties should the states prove the allegations.
I’d like to see a source for that. Of all the places on the internet, lemmy is one of the last ones I’ll believe is full of kids.

Didn’t know the term so googled it. Latchkey kid is a kid that comes home to an empty house and is unsupervised, right? How can that be illegal? Unless they have a special system. When I was going to school, I was starting at 7.30 or something like that and be there for 6-ish hours then by 14:00-15:00, I was home (if I wasn’t hanging out with friends). Ofc my parents were at work at that time.
