So it was very unclear where her body image issues were coming from.
I think
It's possible that social media contributed to them, or it could just be that social media was a scapegoat.
I also got to say that I do think it's a dangerous precedent.
I mean, are we going to allow plaintiffs, lawyers to sue Spotify because you created a playlist of sad music and that music contributed to your emotional distress?
I mean, that's kind of what we're saying.
You got to remember, these are free services that people have a choice whether to use them or not.
And if social media is making you feel bad, if listening to the wrong playlist is making you feel bad, then stop doing it.
But what's going on here, I think, is the trial lawyers are trying to create the next big tobacco, and their goal is to try and sue these companies into oblivion.
And I don't think that's the right answer either.
We actually deal with this in our new AI framework that the administration released last week, because the number one issue is around online child safety, which I think, again, is mostly about social networking, but it touches on AI.

If that's true, then why wouldn't you just disallow it, right?
But if it's unclear, and I think it's more on the side of unclear, this is me, then it's up to the parents.
And what you want to do is, again, have the age assurance technology and the parental controls and let the parents decide.
I find it indispensable to be able to do iMessage with my kids, and also I like the location awareness.
You can track location.
