Big tech wants to take over parenting your teenagers

A child of mine turned 13 recently. Facebook REFUSES to allow them to continue using their account until they change the account type which affords them vastly more control over content they can access while at the same time, curtails parental monitoring ability.

It would be one thing to allow the option, but for Facebook to block use of the account entirely, FORCING the parent to give up specific controls and monitoring capability at 13 years of age… this is insanity.

ok fine…

I used to use facebook. Even though I would like to talk to my family, I find the thought of returning to be repulsive. I keep hearing about all the ways they keep getting worse, like anti-Linux propaganda and shadowbannnig, or requiring phone numbers and mugshots now. How can any company be so big that it can afford to become so terrible?
