As part of a class action lawsuit against Facebook, the company has been forced to reveal internal documents to the court regarding how their strategy for profiting off children are laid out. Some of these documents will become public as part of the ruling, but this part of the article is what really scares me:
QuoteThe judge agreed with Facebook’s request to keep some of the records sealed, saying certain records contained information that would cause the social media giant harm, outweighing the public benefit.
Wow... The only way I can interpret this is that Facebook has secret documents regarding how they handle children so bad that the court feels like it would seriously harm Facebook if the public knew about it.
Why is the court shielding Facebook here, when it involves children?

If this keeps up, social media truly ISN'T "the future," at least not in its current form.

@Lukyp Ruining someone's life (or a company) when you don't need to is very slimy and, in fact, illegal. The judge said a lot just by saying, "You don't want to know what their policy is because it's THAT awful."
