Zuckerberg profits from a vile business model - what you need to know.
[[link removed]]Dear Friend,

The shocking, but not surprising, findings revealed this week by Meta’s whistleblower Arturo Bejar
[[link removed]] confirm what CCDH’s research has shown: Mark Zuckerberg’s company puts profit over kids’ safety.

In 2021, Bejar repeatedly alerted Meta executives that Instagram wasn’t safe for
young people. One of the shocking stats shared by him was that 1 in 8 users under 16 said they had faced unwanted sexual advances on the
platform over the previous 7 days. Two years later, Bejar says that nothing has changed.

What’s worse, the whistleblower disclosed Meta sustained efforts to obscure the truth from the public and lawmakers.

Meta’s disregard for young people’s wellbeing is not new. In March this year, we
explored the company’s flagship VR app, Horizon Worlds, and found minors being exposed
[[link removed]] to bullying, harassment, and explicit content. Yet Meta refused to turn back on
its plan to allow 13 to 17-year-olds in their VR app.

In April 2022, we exposed how Instagram was failing to act
[[link removed]] on 9 out of 10 reports of misogynistic harassment sent via DMs. We found how
harassment, violent threats, and image-based sexual abuse can be sent by
strangers to anyone via Instagram DMs.

Unregulated social media companies are harming young people’s mental health. CCDH’s polling
[[link removed]] showed that American teens who spend 4 or more hours a day on any single
platform were the most likely group to agree with the conspiracy statements
presented by us.

Mark Zuckerberg and other tech billionaires must stop prioritizing profit over
young people’s safety. Will you join our call on governments and lawmakers to put an end to this vile
business model and finally regulate social media companies?

people, not profits first.
