it's also the scale of it and the profiteering from it.

It's doubtful that the kid 'fooled' it. It's far more likely that it's programmed to let any kids that try to circumvent it, 'fool' it.

I don't use any social media other than this, and maybe a few music/audio forums.

But. I honestly don't get why more haven't moved to Pixelfed or Nerimity, as they are far more privacy focused (not very hard comparing to anything Meta).

If it's lack of communities/people, why not use the meta platform to advertise one of those two, the way everyone did the "je suis Charlie" thing that was all over the news a few years ago?

Meta are apparently unable to stop users doing something like that, allegedly.

Or so it seems when it's not their problem.

They are genuine questions by the way.. I don't get it, but I've never been on any of them, not even MySpace or Bebo.
