Newly unredacted court documents from a lawsuit against Meta reveal the company's historical reluctance to protect children on its platforms. Internal presentations and legal filings allege that as many as 100,000 children every day receive sexually explicit and abusive content on Facebook and Instagram, with the company allegedly failing to implement safeguards for minors despite knowing the prevalence of child exploitation on its platforms. The documents also highlight the 'people you may know' feature as connecting predators to youngsters. The case has raised concerns about Big Tech's targeting of children and the mental health impact on content moderators.
