Tiny Terror; Get a Better Meta

On Sunday's 60 Minutes, Meta under the magnifying glass over online safety of its younger users, plus the Eastern Paralysis Tick.

Tiny Terror
Few things are more typically Australian than a snag on the barbecue, somewhere out in the bush. For an increasing number of people though, this simple joy could be a date with death. It's because of a tiny creature called the Eastern Paralysis Tick. As Adam Hegarty reports, anyone who gets bitten by one runs the risk of contracting a largely unknown condition called mammalian meat allergy. For people who get it, and are diagnosed, the consequences mean they can't eat red meat or dairy products. However, for those who get it, but don't know they have it, the consequences can be fatal.

Get a Better Meta
The message is clear for high-profile CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his army of acolytes at the social media giant, Meta. The $2.4 trillion company needs to urgently improve the way it operates, especially when it comes to the online safety of young people who use its platforms, Facebook and Instagram. Until now Meta's line had always been, "We're doing our best." But significant losses in recent court cases, where many of Meta's long-held secrets were exposed, seem to prove the company could and should have done much better to protect users from harm. On 60 Minutes, Dimity Clancey reveals even more damning allegations about the way Meta works from two former executives no longer willing to be silent.
