Employees fretted over company’s ‘negligible’ response to child grooming, according to internal documents made public in lawsuit

Meta estimates about 100,000 children using Facebook and Instagram receive online sexual harassment each day, including “pictures of adult genitalia”, according to internal company documents made public late Wednesday.

The unsealed legal filing includes several allegations against the company based on information the New Mexico attorney general’s office received from presentations by Meta employees and communications between staff. The documents describe an incident in 2020 when the 12-year-old daughter of an executive at Apple was solicited via IG Direct, Instagram’s messaging product.

    I like to make this analogy: Would you let your kid alone in india or any other country? Cause letting YOUR kid alone on the Internet is the exact same. They are interacting with potentially billions of strangers.

    I don’t want the Internet to be moderated to a death of information, I want YOU to watch YOUR kids. I shouldn’t have to be deprived of access to information because YOU are too lazy to raise YOUR kids !
