Unsealed docs will detail how Facebook made money off children

I feel like we just talked about this and that's because we did - only but a day ago[0].

> "When an initial payment is made by the parent, or child using their parent's credit card, Facebook stores the payment information. The card is then repeatedly charged as the game is played without it being made clear new transactions are occurring. As far as the child was concerned, they were just using up the virtual credit purchased with the initial transaction. This led to surprise credit card bills where hundreds or even thousands of dollars had been racked up playing games on Facebook."

That facebook allowed this is abhorrent, and that people actually created games willing to sell people hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of crap is abhorrent. I know why they did it, they want to rake in the profit from those juicy 'whales', even if some of those whales were children.

Well whaling is immoral when it's done by marine "research" vessels, and it's immoral when it's done by game developers. It's my understanding that such whaling is currently an industry standard practice, but that is no excuse.

It's hard to feel sorry for these greedy grasping children and their families when Mark Zuckerberg is worth only $55,000,000,000, while Jeff Bezos is worth around $136,000,000,000. Bezos can lose half in his divorce and still shame Zuckerberg with his bank balance.

Give Zuck a break, a man has to earn a living.
