Self-harm (especially when depicting minors) has special standards. The recent court ruling on child safety against Meta probably led directly to this decision.
Completely absurd. If it's not safe for children just slap an age rating on it.
I don't like this trend of every technology assuming I'm a child that needs to be protected from the world while simultaneously assuming I'm an adult with infinite disposable income that must be shown ads to all the time. This is insincere. Children need to be "protected" only when it's convenient and allows the platform to exercise unchecked control. Nobody is protecting children from ads because that would be inconvenient.
To be clear, I'm not advocating for the behavior here, just explaining that, for most tech companies, the risk of liability is a huge motivator. Liability for poor use of ad targeting would induce similar behavior (and I think that'd be a win for everyone involved)
Yup. I quite literally don't know anyone who is using Bitcoin directly to pay for everyday expenses, nor even for larger purchases. It always includes using an off-ramp and going through fiat.
