Some say it will never happen, but they said that about the now-dying tobacco industry, too.
I don't know - I've said before, but the bigger red flag to me would be either that they worked for Meta at all, or that they didn't leave of their own accord. Any big tech company pretending someone was let go, as part of a mass lay-off, for performance reasons is generally going to rate as about as truthful as saying it's "because of AI", if I'm looking at hiring.
Not to erase that Meta is an absolutely shitty company run by a literal ghoul enabled by tens of thousands of "people" who are happy to make giving teenage girls depression in return for ad clicks their entire life's work.
Who's naive enough to think that big corporations like Meta would care about human rights?
In a just world, would social media platforms be taxed higher on corporate revenue and how would that pan out? Maybe we'll be left with small federated platforms without algorithms and ads.

E.g. in The Netherlands. First they did a mass block last December, then again in April:

Some were reinstated again, but not all and not after they have been offline for to long.
