Padres exigen al Congreso acción tras acuerdo de $17 mil millones de Meta

Negocios Política Sociedad Tecnología

Activistas de padres en Estados Unidos dijeron que el acuerdo de $17 mil millones de Meta por supuesta adicción de menores a las redes sociales era insuficiente y urgieron al Congreso aprobar la Ley de Seguridad en Línea para Niños. El acuerdo se dio tras una demanda presentada por una coalición de fiscales generales estatales que acusaron a Meta de diseñar Facebook e Instagram para generar adicción en menores y de violar leyes de privacidad infantil, según NPR. Durante el juicio federal en Oakland, el exingeniero de seguridad de Meta Arturo Béjar declaró que el CEO Mark Zuckerberg priorizó el crecimiento de la plataforma sobre las salvaguardas para adolescentes, informó NBC News.

El Fiscal General de California, Rob Bonta, aclaró que el caso se centró en multas civiles y restitución, no en una indemnización de un billón de dólares, según CNBC. CBS News señaló que el acuerdo contempla un pago de hasta $17,1 mil millones para resolver las reclamaciones de 47 estados.

More than half of the US states are suing Meta with the allegation that its platforms are intentionally built to addict minors.
