Rough week for Zuck. Two verdicts went
00:00:02
against Meta in 2 days. They were first
00:00:05
found liable for allowing child
00:00:07
predators to access minors on Facebook
00:00:09
and Instagram. Then on Wednesday, an LA
00:00:12
jury found Meta and YouTube negligent
00:00:14
for designing addictive platforms that
00:00:17
harmed a young user's mental health. No
00:00:19
good comes out of kids under 16 using
00:00:22
social media. kids who use this two or
00:00:24
three hours a day. It's massively
00:00:26
correlated with depression and anxiety
00:00:29
and eating disorders specifically in
00:00:32
young girls. It's obviously addicting.
00:00:33
Obviously, the industry has not policed
00:00:35
itself, nor would they police themselves
00:00:38
because they want to get people addicted
00:00:40
now. So, they're addicted when they're
00:00:41
adults. The rest of the world has
00:00:42
realized this. Australia now has 16
00:00:45
enforced, Malaysia 16. Other countries
00:00:48
are right behind them. Spain, Germany,
00:00:50
UK. So labeling information and
00:00:52
agegating would be the logical things to
00:00:54
do for social media. And that's what's
00:00:55
happened in the past. If Android and
00:00:58
Apple showed leadership with Facebook
00:01:00
and said, "We're going to by default
00:01:02
when you buy a phone, you're going to
00:01:04
have to ageverify kids under a certain
00:01:06
age. We could solve this problem." And
00:01:08
then parents would opt in to giving
00:01:10
their kids access to
