I wrote up a recap of my two Washington State Senate testimonies this week in support of SB 5708 on addictive feeds and SB 5784 on AI companions.
In both testimonies, I recount my first hand experience in Horizon Worlds speaking up about the open secret that we were collecting data on kids and exposing them to unknown adults without parental consent or controls, and the lengths Meta went to in order to protect the company instead of the kids. I spoke about how their sophisticated system of harassment and retaliation against those-especially women-who speak up about it ultimately ended my career in tech.
I've been telling this story for almost a year now, including providing testimony for the Federal Trade Commission in April. Meta has never denied my allegations or sent any form of a cease and desist, a practice they're well-practiced in. That really says something.
I'm telling the truth, and so are many others, about how corporate negligence and greed are costing kids and families.
