This is what a bad day for free speech and privacy looks like.
Meta's $17 billion settlement with the states is all over the news today, and almost every story is about teen screen limits and beauty filters.
It feels like barely anyone has read the actual judgment, which requires every adult user to give up their privacy just to get online, orders Meta to get better at surveilling you and linking your accounts together, and Meta has even waived the right to argue any of it is unconstitutional.
