If child exploitation was always inevitable then maybe just don't release the apps at all?!

Okay genius, if he doesn’t release the apps then how is he supposed find enough child blood sacrifices for the blood god’s death cult?

Besides, if he doesn’t release the apps, what’s he supposed to do? Not earn billions on the tears and mental health crises of millions of people? Get real.

Ultimately, if he doesn't do it, someone else will.

Then they'll get the money, and he can't let that happen.

I don't understand why everyone is so hyped about this case, with the want to punish the company. This is just the desired effect, they will pay a pittance of compensation and create a precedent making it harder for any competition to enter a market. This also plays along with the aim of digital surveillance and ID verification being enforced on everything.

Mark sounds like some people around here. Just saying “these things are inevitable.” “Parents should just parent.“

No offense but if youre going to install and make spyware the least you can do is make it safe spyware for children.

What a TERRIBLE legal argument. I hope they get a refund on those lawyer fees because WOW.
