Wrong. Meta has years of very well documented practices that are fundamentally detrimental to society when not clearly illegal.
Explain why politicians, which have not acted enough to avoid that, now should not act to limit the issue.
This line of thinking is detrimental and only defends the concentration of wealth that the online platform came to represent.
You should be the one doing some more research, I reckon.

The practices may be well documented but the studies are... flimsy. Please send meta analysis for my consumption.
