       Governments want nothing more than to control what people say and read and hear online, and corporate monopolists are their natural allies. So the "kid safety settlement" by Facebook and states is going to be disastrous for everyone who cares about free speech. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/08/26/meta-just-paid-nearly-17-billion-to-make-sure-it-gets-to-write-the-kid-safety-rules-for-every-other-social-media-platform/
