      children

      You mean current and future products/advertising targets?

      It’s simple. It’s so they can get them into that content pipeline early, that way they keep their eyeballs on the ads as long as possible.

      No morals, no empathy, profit is all.

      It’s the closest you come to actual evil in the corporate world. You harm people without a care in the world.

      Sometimes I think this existence is about resilience to evil. To see who will fall for it, and who will not.

        So you think it’s out of malice? there is a decision to harvest kids data and it’s not a happy accident for these corporations, like they built these tracking systems for adults and if kids get into the mix, leave it unfixed because we might as well benefit from it
