Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Pp & his gaggle of miscreants spent the last week peddling lies about PMMC’s new budget yet somehow forgot to file his amendment.
