Additionally, Bejar said other features, such as infinite scroll, were designed to keep users on the platforms for long periods with no “natural end” to content, because Meta, he said, prioritized targeting ads to increase its profits. https://www.courthousenews.com/social-media-safety-tools-were-designed-to-fail-former-meta-engineer-testifies/
