An investigation by a state attorney general into potential dangers on a tech company’s platforms has led to the arrests of three men. The arrests came after a long investigation into the risks of sexual exploitation of children on social media. The company has denied the accusations and stated that it provides safety tools for children and parents. As part of the investigation, fake profiles were created, and the men were allegedly contacted and solicited for sex. The attorney general blames the company for placing profits over the interests of children. The news could further increase scrutiny on the company’s safety measures for young users.
