Imagine a mysterious person, Al, turns up in your child's messaging app without consent. You don't know anything about them. You don't know them or their parents. You don't know any of their morals, or how they might influence your child. You can't remove them from the app. #MetaAI

Classic Trump: he lies & feigns ignorance and then reporters allow him to change the topic. No one else is given this leeway. Imagine if everytime Biden had been asked about Hunter he’d said ‘Sorry, who? I know nothing about him. First time I’m hearing about any of this. Next question?”
