Meta Discovers Addiction Loop, Hides It For Profits
While tech giants feign surprise at the mental health epidemic, court documents now allege Meta actively covered up its own research proving Facebook's direct link to depression and anxiety among young users. This isn't just negligence; it's a calculated decision, right up there with tobacco companies denying nicotine addiction. They knew the product was harmful, studied it, and then chose profit
over public well-being. One might wonder if any government officials, perhaps those who accepted campaign donations from tech PACs, will find this concerning enough to, say, consider meaningful regulation? Or will we continue to hear platitudes about 'user safety' while they continue to monetize our emotional fragility?
