MEDIAWATCH: Meta are dangerous attention pimps who lie to us
Social media giant Meta insists banning under-16s from platforms like Facebook and Instagram won’t work
Critics — including academics, child psychologists, and digital harm researchers — say this defence mirrors the tactics once used by Big Tobacco: deny harm, delay regulation, and protect profits at all costs.
NZ academic says Meta using same tactic as big tobacco
Social media giant Meta says banning young people from its platforms won’t work, but supporters of a law change are crying foul, saying the owner of Facebook and Instagram is using the same tactics as big tobacco.

Why Are We Still Listening to Meta?
Why are we bothering to listen to Meta? They have been caught out so many times lying to our faces, we know they are pimps for our attention and will do everything to lie to us about that truth.
How is this even a question?
Social Media Is Crack Cocaine for Developing Brains
Of course we should ban under 16s from social media you fools!
It is crack cocaine for the brain!
Attention Harvesting, Hate Algorithms, and Psychological Harm
They are insanely addictive attention harvesters using psychologically attuned hate algorithms that feed neurosis and depression.
These social media networks have been built by people whose goal is unregulated profit via never ending attention, they enslave adults, they are mutating young people.
Why Do We Let Corporations Profit From Harm?
Why are we all such slaves to corporations?
Why do we allow them to sell highly addictive products that are bad for us with zero regulation?
Why do you all take a corporations interests as your own?
How are you this stupid?
Stop these rich billionaires selling a product that is damaging your children you morons!
Stop handing your children to parasitic corporations that feed on harm for profit.
If Porn Is R18, Why Isn’t Social Media?
It should be R18, like pornography.
It’s true, Mark Zuckerberg is an enemy of the human race. However, these laws are not being passed for legitimate reasons. Just look at how they have been pushed forward in the UK, where PM Keir Starmer is best known for protecting the (extremely pro-‘israel’) Jimmy Saville against charges for his mass rapes of children, and for being a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein mate Peter Mandelson, the evil zionist behind the hideous evil of ‘New Labour’ from Blair to Starmer, and for banning Palestine Action for opposing genocide. And in Australia, under the deviant Albanese regime, which is banning all protests against the genocidal monster Isaac Herzog.
These identity verification laws disguised as ‘underage social media bans’ are solely done to allow crackdowns on speech against zionists and pedophiles- but I repeat myself.
I wonder if you’ll get much discussion on this. The present set up of this site here could be based on an idea from Meta or similar. Items are broken up with – you might be interested in this too before you get the invitation to Join the Discussion that the original thought is leaking out the side of the brain before it can be passed on…..
And as for gathering a group of people who can form a similar opinion and have some discussions with each other to shape and form the idea to a meaningful and practical one, is this being discouraged? We are returned to voices lone in the wilderness, or responding to the officially right from above. Please enable discussion under some control as previously….
Social media is dangerous because it is not moderated. It brings people together but are they attempting real thought and reporting truth, or dissembling, adopting theatrical poses. Dissimulation seems to be a meme which gets to the many. See it right in your home at whatever age you are, on the ‘[principle’ of – A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on’. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/07/13/truth/….
This blog was, I thought attempting to build consensus amongst aware people. I quote the last verse of WH Auden 1/9/39 again – sorry to be repetitive. But we need to refresh again and again in this incident-rich world.
Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.
