I agree, I should be allowed to give children my amazing crystal meth, it's such an untapped market.

There's a law against that. There's currently no law against making a website so fun that kids will waste all their time playing with it if their parents let them.

And how did we create the law against giving children crystal meth in the first place? At a certain point in time, there was no law against it.

How? Certainly not by judicial fiat.

I'm not saying I'm against passing laws on this subject. My point is that no such laws currently exist, but a bunch of lawyers and judges just decided Facebook owes $17B for breaking these non-existent laws anyway.
