Hoping this opens the door a bit wider to start highlighting the abuses Facebook has monetized full well knowing that the general public and members of house and senate don’t fully comprehend. There have been some social media savvy warriors going after Facebook and other platforms that use private information to target users with propaganda or biased information. Kara Swiisher is one that comes to mind but there are others out there explaining that the people behind Facebook used the platform to fill their pockets, target voters & allow foreign money, hate groups and fringe groups to infiltrate, congregate, plot and plan. It would take a week or less for Facebook to shut down these groups with a few key words but they don’t. Congress consists of older people who literally don’t understand how the platform is used for evil. I’m not doing a good job of expressing my own hate for the company as I am not in that business but when experts break down how manipulative & powerful tool it is, you get the gist real quick. John Oliver did a funny/not so funny breakdown of how they operate and it was pretty scathing…..another piece of this whole post Trump era world of accepting how institutions we blindly trust, do not have the public interest at heart. They know it’s addictive, another reason it works. Sigh..
I'm a very outraged parent who has been investigating from 2015-2021 . Investigating Facebook and Meet Me Group Inc. When Parents help their child commit fraud. To benefit the privileges of being qualified to be on Facebook ! Misrepresentation of age by a minor on social media. Is real. It must STOP!! When this happens Minors now go on Adult datig app. MeetMe. Looking for adults. To destroy their life for ever. My son has Autism intellectual and developmental disabilites with a IEP. Who has a mentality of a 12 yr old. Who believe that's females where 18 yrs old. Guess What! She's 12-17 yr old in real life. We need to STOP this NOW! Raise the age to 18! To be on Social media. Hold these high tech companies accoutable. Hold these parents accountable. Individuals with Autism do matter. Legal abuse is real. Being above the law to provide false fabricated evidence is real. Son dying in our Federal Bureau of Prison with Thyroid cancer. I have contacted 2 former presidents and now President Biden along with our vice President Kamala Harris. Complaints filed with Me York Attorney General, U.S. Attorney General, complaint filed with DOJ. federal Prosicutor was very wel! Aware. U.S Sentaors I have written about this. I'm being ignored. Wake up! Missing exploiced children. Child porn Happens WHY? I sure have figured it out. I'm talking and sharing. No one wants to listen, just turn your heads. No It won't go away.

Only ignored. prison reform .Stop giving Government employees to much power to be above the law! Our Mental Health has abused my son. No Adult qualified Trained Autism counselors for our Adults.

100% agree with your entire commentary- because it’s spot on - and I agree the algorithm Facebook uses can be like a weapon

Apologies for the delayed response - typically I’m more timely.
Re Child Protection see FTC COPPA
https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule
Typically the FBI, DHS and State do various operations re Child Sexual Exploitation,
https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/violent-crime/cac
One of the Joint Operations is Project Safe Childhood
https://www.justice.gov/usao-id/project-safe-childhood
But I agree with you on the social media culpability aspect —that social media companies need to do more to protect children
