    I am sure you already know, but the objection here is going after kids. literally profiling and then abusing their vulnerabilities for profit. this isnt your standard cereal box advertising, I think this is something much darker and more disgusting.

        Even teenage girls?

        You seem to be saying that teenage girls should have known FB was manipulating them and just closed the app.

          No, I don’t think they meant the kids should have known better, but rather the adults should have known to keep them away from social media because it’s the ultimate cyber predator.

          God knows what a hyper-specific ML model is going to do for them

          Idealistically I’d say their millennial parents failed them for having that ignorance to begin with, so yes they should know better.

          Realistically, you’re not wrong in your rebuttal.
