| 4mEx-Facebook engineer reportedly suggested ending People You May Know recommendations of children to adults, but he says execs refused
According to a former Facebook worker, Meta (formerly Facebook) rejected the idea of disabling the "People You May Know" feature from recommending children to adults, despite concerns of it being used by adults to target minors. The worker claimed that the algorithm was widely used by adults to find children for predatory purposes. The allegations highlight internal disagreements at Meta regarding how to address predatory behavior on the platform. Meta has been making efforts to enhance privacy and child safety, including implementing end-to-end encryption on its Messenger app. However, unsealed documents suggest Meta knowingly has millions of underage users on Instagram.
