lol, let me see, you want ME to defend what FACEBOOK is advocating and I am NOT?

EDIT: To be clear, AGAIN, you're IGNORING that it's happening. 3 posts, can't once recognize social media led to their deaths, you're sole focus is on this ID thing. Basically, you are so focused on what you think you might lose here dead children do not matter. And I was worried Facebook was being immoral. Maybe it shouldn't exist at all.

Here's what would make those stories similar: If Judas Priest documented, over and over, that they were putting lyrics into songs telling people to kill themselves and decided to NOT take them out. This is why Facebook lost in court and Judas Priest did not.

Not sure why you're old enough to remember the case, but not the outcome, the trial, the facts, the differences, that there was 1 trial for 2 kids - that Facebook has a trail of dead bodies and internal documents showing they knew it was happening and did nothing.

Yes, they are exactly the same!

EDIT: I'm also old enough. But moral enough to spot the differences. Rap lyrics weren't actively matching pedophiles up to children - social media was doing that automatically. But compare them, that's sensical, to protect the adult's right to access kids. That's what you're protecting, not access to rap records... it's "the same".

I like how in a thread about how social media is great and healthy and not bad for anyone we didn't discuss that topic but blocked people who pointed to evidence that wasn't true. It's almost as if social media is bad no matter the platform because humans shouldn't have it.

>What we want is some evidence that turning even more personal information over to Facebook will stop kids killing themselves.

Them being on it was getting them killed - you want MORE evidence, more dead bodies? Not sure what you're asking for here... they already went to court, they were found guilty, there is evidence.

Forget uploading your ID - that's the false choice here. If it wasn't harmful, if it didn't exist, we'd not be talking about IDs.

"No on here" is weird, there are trolls here, Nazi instances, CSAM on Fedi sites too. This isn't exempt.

"Oh, no, the algorithm is addictive because it makes them feel good about themselves."

Don't let some dead kids get in your way. We "need" social media, it gave us Trump, they stole all our data and use it for things like Brexit - but please, we should protect it.

Motherfucker, it's not the phones.
