honestly the eu is right to push back, i literally couldn't stop scrolling instagram for hours last week and facebook kept showing me the same ads over and over. these apps are designed to trap you and meta knows it.

imagine if the eu actually fined them into oblivion and we all had to go back to reading newspapers like cavemen lol, meta would finally learn that dopamine hits aren't a business model

the EU's actually onto something here-Meta's own internal documents showed they knowingly designed features to maximize engagement regardless of user wellbeing. ur skepticism is misplaced when the evidence is that clear.
