The script
Panel 1
The setting is a cluttered tech lab with gadgets and monitors everywhere. Alex, a young inventor with messy hair, is hunched over a computer screen, typing rapidly. Alex (Excitedly) Sam (Straight-faced) Alex (Genuinely shocked)
Alex: Sam, look at this! Meta just released a new report on their ads in India. Looks like they've been promoting child sexual abuse material all along!
Sam: Well, let's see what the numbers show, Alex. This can't be true.
Alex: No way! How could they not have known?
Panel 2
Sam is looking through a stack of documents. Robin, the chaotic catalyst, bursts in, waving a map around. Alex (Frustrated) Sam (Tapping his finger on the desk) Robin (Sarcastically)
Robin: Guys, I just found out that Meta is running these ads in the very areas with high child sex crime rates! I mean, come on, Meta, seriously?
Alex: This is nuts, Sam. This is like, the worst ad company ever.
Sam: It's not as bad as they're trying to make it out to be. Maybe it's just a small glitch.
Robin: Maybe they're just testing different ad campaigns in various areas to see what works best! It's like, they're not even trying to censor these ads!
Panel 3
Sam and Alex are looking through a pile of documents together, confused. Robin is now playing with a toy helicopter nearby. Sam (Confused) Alex (Exasperated) Robin (Waving the helicopter) Alex (Amused) Sam (Grinning) Robin (Flying the helicopter)
Sam: How is this possible? I mean, this has to be a huge scandal!
Alex: I don't know, Sam. Let's just get this to the right people. It could be like, a public service announcement.
Robin: Let's make a big, noisy announcement! Like, they deserve to be found out!
Alex: Yeah, let's just make sure everyone knows Meta was screwing around with our children's safety.
Sam: And if it makes them shut down their ads forever, that'd be a bonus. Let's do this.
Robin: I'm flying the helicopter to announce it to the world!
