Social Media Under Pressure: Child Safety, Moderation Limits, and Real-World Harm

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

Social media platforms face a triple crisis: massive fines for child safety failures, ineffective AI moderation, and live-streamed violence that turns digital spaces into crime scenes.

💡 Why it matters

These events pressure regulators and companies to urgently overhaul safety measures to prevent both digital exploitation and physical harm linked to online platforms.

Meta was ordered to pay $942 million for harming children, while a Mexican influencer was shot dead during a live TikTok stream in Sinaloa, illustrating the platform's failure to prevent real-world violence.
