Good insight. I hadn't considered that, but you're right. This would effectively kill two birds, or many birds, with one stone. It gives the governmental oversight puppets a win, it would give FB a win by giving them more control, and it would pacify the public who wants to see FB dragged through the mud a bit.

It is a brilliant ruse, if this is what's actually happening. And let's consider -- when has government or industry given two shits about the health of young people? We have them on a drip feeding of junk food and sugary drinks. The US has a very high percentage of kids who can't access good health care, Internet services, education...

I think you may be on to something.
