Meta funneled $2B through nonprofit shells to push age verification laws targeting Apple and Google while exempting its own platforms from surveillance requirements.

    Confusing title: There was no other “who” behind it. It was Meta. They tried to hide their lobbying through other shell orgs.

      It’s also a useless article. It barely covers what it claims to, but immediately moves on to “What ‘Get Age Category API’ Really Means for Your Device”

      The Reddit post is here and actually has details.

      They must be really big fans of that “We hold these truths to be self evident” line.
