You don’t like it when they release research, you don’t like it when research leaks, you don’t like it when research is suppressed. Hard for Meta to do anything right on this topic.

Have you considered that maybe the outrage is about what the research results contain?

I’m not saying social media is good for children.

I’m just saying that some companies might release more information if the reaction wasn’t always adversarial. It’s not just meta. There’s a constant demand for outrage against big companies.

I think if it weren't suppressed and released alongside some real, substantive changes for improving child safety it might be seen as Meta finally deciding to do something about it.

It's also worth pointing out this comes hot on the heels of the internal ai chatbot <> children memo leak [1] so people might not be likely to give them the benefit of the doubt atm...

Who doesn't like these?

We also don't like it when this happens: "their boss ordered the recording of the teen’s claims deleted, along with all written records of his comments."

You're so close to getting it. Maybe there's one more option...
