Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta stifled internal research into the safety risks of its virtual reality apps – including a stomach-churning claim that sickos had “sexually propositioned” a kid younger than 10, according to bombshell whistleblower allegations that surfaced Monday. Two of the whistleblowers, including a former Meta safety researcher named Jason Sattizahn and an unnamed colleague, detailed a shocking April 2023 research trip they had taken to Germany. During the trip, a German mother said she didn’t allow her children to talk to strangers using Meta’s VR headsets – only to hear her teenage son allege moments later that his little brother had been propositioned by creeps on multiple occasions.
