A bill in California and a lawsuit in Australia show that Meta’s ability to avoid responsibility for what people put on its platforms (Facebook, Instagram) may be over.
Brad: a couple of comments. 1) When you say "eight years before Facebook was even a glimmer in Mark Zuckerberg’s unblinking eye" shouldn't you be saying the Winklevos's eyes? And while I share your views on addiction, shouldn't the fact that the industry labeled them as "users" out of the box when the technical definition was visitors be telling tale on intent?
I’m curious if you think the bill is fine as is, goes too far, or not far enough? Also noticed a typo: “certain,” when you meant “certainly.” Those old GSI habits are hard to kick too ;)
Great article Brad!

Very informative. It is amazing that Facebook has gone so long without the regulation that is clearly indicated. Thanks
