coming days as we in our partners announce massive new sanctions packages designed, among other things, to strangle russia's effort at sanctions evasion. russia's invasion of ukraine led to an initial round of sanctions that the treasury department says causes russia's economy to shrink by about 2% in 2022. meanwhile. president biden met with navalny's widow and daughter yesterday at the fairmont hotel in san francisco. navalny's daughter is a student at stanford, and his widow has vowed to carry on his mission. the president called navalny a man of incredible courage. judge amanda, all right, thanks so much, gloria. >> meta is responding to new claims. it didn't do enough to stop child exploitation on its platforms. abc seven news reporter lena howland is in menlo park at the company's headquarters with these allegations, and meta's response, lena. >> amanda. that's right. uh- a wall street journal

reggie. >> according to a wall street journal investigation, when employees spoke up about child exploitation happening on their own platforms, and they offered up suggestions on how to reduce the risks, meta decided to go another route. staffers found that hundreds of what the company calls parent managed minor accounts were using the subscription feature to sell exclusive content, not available to nonpaying followers, the report says the content frequently featured young girls in bikinis and leotards being promoted to likely through their own algorithms, leaving some posts plastered with suggestive emojis and sexual comments. the wall street journal investigation says meta staffers formally recommended meta require accounts selling subscription to child focused content to register themselves, so the company could monitor them. medyczne chose not to go that way, and instead they chose to create an automated system to prevent suspected from being given the option to subscribe to

parent run accounts. that didn't always work, and users got around the subscription ban by setting up new accounts. this investigation comes just weeks after meta founder and ceo mark zuckerberg apologized to parents at a congressional hearing. senator our job and what we take seriously is making sure that we build industry leading tools to find harmful, to make money, take it off the services to make money, and to build tools that empower parents. meta just released a statement to abc seven news saying in part, as part of our ongoing safety work, we expanded the use of our technology to identify and restrict potentially suspicious adults from using our monetization tools. and we plan to limit these adults from accessing certain content. they added that creators monetization tools have a robust set of safety measures and multiple checks on both the creators and their content aren't live in menlo park. lena howland, abc seven news thank you lena.

to block the city from implementing the policy change. the chronicle reports supporters of the reforms say it will help eliminate racial profiling. opponents say the traffic stop is key to fighting crime. >> a san francisco hardware store is changing the way it does business in hopes of stopping shoplifters. if you go into frederickson hardware in the marina, you'll see a table. it blocks the entrance with a sign that asks you to wait for your help or wait for help. i should say employees then decide if the customer can go in or not. other measures include drilling pots and pans into the display, locking up walls full of items, and keeping customers bags and backpacks up front while they shop. >> the shoplifting got too much, and then the snatch and grabs. that's where it just had to stop . kind of slow it down a little bit with the table here, our abc seven news data team looked into a sfpd incident data in the marina district and found in 2023, there were 81 larceny theft, shoplifting incidents.
