EU is concerned Meta isn't doing enough to protect children using its apps.

    Is “dark patterns” the new term we’re using for these algorithms? I’m not against it

      Not really new but probably not that popular for everyone. It seems it was coined in 2010: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern. In the web dev space I was using it like 8-9 years ago, more or less.
