Meta has made it repeatedly clear that one of their growth strategies is sexualizing kids. Mark Zuckerberg and his leadership team deserve to face personal liability for this, and the company deserves sanctions up to and including corporate dissolution

WIRED@wired.com · 13h ago

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Temperamentally pro-Israel liberals have to grapple with the fact that they, not pro-Palestine people, have held the reins of government in the US, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, etcetera for decades and decades and they did absolutely nothing to bring about "two-states".
