Chicago leaders push Meta for stronger action on teen gatherings – FOX32 (Chicago)

"When looking for a specific car, you got plate readers. When you're looking for specific suspects that are wearing certain types of clothes, cameras can zoom in," Ald. William Hall said. "You're telling me that a social media company doesn't have the tools to zero in on certain images that are being reported to them, certain phrases that are been reported to him, or certain problematic accounts that are be identified over and over and again? So we're asking for a bigger step, not just one step."

Ahhh yes blame Meta. Blame white people. Blame males. Blame Trump. Blame everyone and everything except the obvious smacking you in your face. It’s just that we as a society are not allowed to say the truth out loud. You all know it to be true. You can’t talk about it. You cannot fix a problem you can’t freely discuss.

CTU and Johnson taught them to hate police authority and revolt against society with critical theory and Now they want to put the jeanie back in the bottle . LOL

Meta is guilty, too. They just got their ass kicked in court for destroying young minds.

How about instead of complainig about META you do something to stop these teens BEFORE the situation arises. Oh I forgot that is too much like right.

Talking to Meta ? How about arresting them and have the parents bail them out ? Maybe if they are put out a little bit they will see what their kids are doing other people. Ask them to PARENT

Chicago Democrats don’t want to blame the their own constituents for the mayhem their kids are causing so they have to find someone else to blame. This is just an extension of Illinois Democrats blaming the victims, not the criminals.

Blame social media and expect them to do the job parents won’t. Blame carjackings on Kia. Blame the taco trucks for dealing in cash. Blame the stores for smash and grabs and overnight break ins. That’s the “ Wrong Place, Wrong Time, No Accountability “ CHI Way.
