@nixCraft yeah, that makes sense. They can shift liability from the apps to the devices that access them. They are a software company that dabbles in hardware, if successful they save on development and (more importantly) legal fees every year on most of thier product line. $2B sounds like a lot but class action lawsuits for child exploitation can get expensive quick. This way the phone has the legal responsibility to protect you.

@nixCraft So this is Meta’s response to ad blockers and JavaScript blockers and cookie blockers and privacy-centric browsers…
Cut through all the bullshit and get directly to your government-issued identification to extract your demographics (if not your full and real identity)… so they can increase the cost of ads and target you as an individual - not just a profile of interests.

@passwordsarehard4 @nixCraft "protect you"
It won't, and will endanger children instead be design because child abusers define what "protection" means
