Meta isn't a whole lot at fault, not that they didn't do wrong here, but that they behaved naturally, as expected of them.

You should absolutley expect companies to do whatever it takes to make the most profit, so long as they don't break the law. As a society, this failure should be put entirely at the foot of elected legislators who have been entrusted to pass laws to protect the public.

You shouldn't have to use less technology, quit social media, etc.. This things keep happening again and again, but by the time there are laws to do something about it, it's too late. At first I thought this reminded me of the tobacco industry, but now that I think about it, this is more akin to alcohol. You can't prohibit it, and you can only restrict it so much because of how abundant its use has become. But still, lots of lawmaking can still be done.
