“Google and Apple should manage consent, but let me manage payments directly so I don’t have to pay them.”
Misleading headline. I watched the hearing, what he said was that parental controls should be centralized by Apple/Google at the app store level. To simplify the process so that parents can cut access to apps for their kids without needing to manage parental controls for a bunch of apps
What is sad is this already can be done, but parents are either not educated in the process of how or don’t care enough to.
Let’s be real here, it’s the second one
Unfortunately yes. From my 3rd grade daughter’s class she the only one with parental controls turned on on her phone. The amount of time and the things those kids see and do on the internet with unrestricted access at this age is mentally unhealthy and they are just not ready for that. Unfortunately because of that it also means I can’t fully prevent her from being exposed to that in the classroom.
Jesus christ 3rd graders with phones.
That’s a quick way to get Facebook banned from both platforms
Apple and Google: “Consider yourself managed.”
I had the same reaction, but then… Do you think they care?
They’re probably the most installed application worldwide. Definitely the most installed social media application worldwide.
I just googled it, and the top result was Facebook, and then Instagram. If that’s correct, “fucking go right ahead, I guess? Kick me off your platforms. I already dominated both of them.” -zuck, probably.
FB is dependent on Android and iOS, not the other way around.
Android != The Google Play store
iOS != The App store.
Sure you can make a pendatic point instead of engaging the conversation.
Considering sideloading on iOS wasn’t a thing until 17.2, the comment is functionally the same.
Android your statement carries a bit more meaning, but I’d guess the huge majority of Android users are still only getting apps from the play store.

Of course they are. Facebook comes pre-installed with no way to actually uninstall it.
What if they access FB from a browser?
Then it’s obviously Googles, Microsofts, Mozillas or whoevers job… but certainly not Metas!
Don’t be silly. Kids don’t know how to use a computer.
Facebook does not deserve a special exemption from laws to protect children.
He’s trying to have all the ad revenue and none of the responsibility.
He wants to sell kids attention to his customers. They are they easiest group to advertise to. They are super impressionable and not rational. This makes them valuable to meta.
Ok, what about the website tho, bud? Why can’t that carry over to the app? Eh?
There’s so many things wrong with this I just don’t even know where to begin.
I’m out of the loop, what is going on that children are seeing that’s not okay?
Don’t they have to be 13 for facebook anyway? And there’s already a Google safesearch. Isn’t it the parents job to monitor the kids? I really dont get what this fuss is about.
That would be the sensible assumption. Alass the year is 2024, we vote in an orange man that admitted to playing the financial system, then an older man that sniffs children…
This is a hack.
Not only will they save money on developing the functions, but it effectively sidesteps regulations by allowing kids to access adult material on their platform from another device without parental control.
It’s basically a “have your cake and eat it too” position. We can only speculate that Zuckerbot 3000 wants an in to exploit kids.
Of course he does.
One of Meta’s major value propositions for companies is its advertising tools. Marketers love marketing towards children because A) they can be impressionable, and B) they bank on kids annoying the shit out of their parents to spend money on whatever fuck random thing that’s being advertised. Marketing towards adults is harder because we got responsibilities and other things to consider before spending money willy-nilly on fun things, but kids don’t have that.
Are you making a Revolting Cocks reference
No, no I did not, and now I will humbly ask you to explain the reference, because you’ve piqued my interest.

It is you failing to engage in the conversation.
You’re off having a different conversation. I have no obligation to partake. You can stay on topic or fart to the wind. Idgaf.
