I’ve got the senate committee hearing about child exploitation on in the background while I work this morning. Interesting to hear Mark Zuckerberg pivot a couple of the questions into needing to be solved in the app stores, not the social platforms.
@manton Instagram and Facebook losing their 13+ rating in either app store would lead to very real consequences for Facebook stock. This is some pretty short-sighted buck-passing on his part.
@beautifulentropy Yeah, to be honest I didn't completely understand his argument. I need to review the transcript later. In the moment it felt like an attempt to refocus pressure on Apple and Google, who weren't there.
@manton @beautifulentropy I haven’t seen this particular transcript, but it seems the object is to deflect responsibility and push the cost of this supervisory role onto someone else. Never mind the fact that you can use Facebook on the web without any app store at all. 🧐
