Data collection should be limited by the government, that is not a decision to an avarage parent.
I’ve got no love for FB, or social media in general for that matter, but why are they suing them for it instead of coming up with actual regulation to address the issues? It’s all just a show and the fact that barely anyone sees it means they are winning. You’re all victims of propaganda.
