Trump couldn't care less about social media preying on children through targeting algorithms and campaigns, as the Tech Bros thought they bought a president. But that hasn’t stopped the Democratic Attorneys General from bringing Meta/Facebook/Instagram to its knees during trial and forcing a $18 billion settlement that includes major changes to Meta’s business model and gets them out of the children-targeting market. Popok reports on the settlement announced during the trial that was not going well for Facebook, as Mark Zuckerberg was due up to testify.
