Pfft…

Disinformation on a global scale is Meta’s raison d’etre… It’s their best revenue creator. Especially in the current US “gov’t” climate. They are now shielded.

Anyone not clued into this fact is either not paying attention or is being willfully ignorant.

Oh, and FUCK ZUCK!!

Alleged pedophile Mark Zuckerberg?

Zuckerberg put in his will “Anyone who kills me gets a billion dollars”. Bold move, but apparently legal!

As the power driver bottom in a clown pegging chain orgy at a pagan easter festival in marin county, yes. I was one of the clowns.

Don’t pretend it wasn’t like that under any US ‘climate’.

Well, yeah. They straight up said they were going to stop. Not sure what’s new here…

…and yet they are pretty sharp at taking down/silencing any anti israel/pro palestine posts 😔.

Failing? But they’re not trying. They’ve been soft on disinformation for years and are known for meddling in elections.

bus_factor@lemmy.world on 14 Apr 00:17 collapse

Worse, they’re actively incentivizing it.

CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world on 14 Apr 00:26 next collapse

Uh yeah. What else is new? This is why nobody should be using ANY of their stuff. They are objectively a force bent on social destruction for profit. By using any of their services or buying any of their products, you are contributing whether you agree with them or not.

Quill7513@slrpnk.net on 14 Apr 00:47 next collapse

“failing” implies that’s the goal, when we know that meta promotes disinformation because it benefits them

h3mlocke@lemm.ee on 14 Apr 00:55 next collapse

Are they still “failing” if they’re doing it on purpose?

N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Apr 00:59 next collapse

Let’s dispel with this illusion that Meta doesn’t know exactly what it’s doing. Hate speech, compromising US National security for access to Chinese markets, dumbing down political discourse and literally everything else, manipulating hundreds of millions of people to make them insecure and more vulnerable to advertising.

Meta is as evil as evil gets. All confirmed by insider whistleblowers. They paid to play, so they’ll get away with it. Just know what you’re supporting when you participate in their ecosystem.

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don’t know why.

Zuck: They “trust me”

Zuck: Dumb fucks

That’s literally the point. Social media is literally one of Peter Thiel & co’s weapons to overthrow & destabilize democracies. If they succeed in the US, they plan to do it to every democracy.

Easy to frame lies as “free speech” when you control what everyone gets to see

Peter Thiel was the first outside investor in Facebook, and Zuck is close with him and all the other “dark enlightenment” tech bros

Failing to stop.

Yep. They’re intentionally propagating it.

I’d more likely argue they’re facilitating it, but that’s just me.

Facebook is screwed up. All the ads u get is for recovery scam, Bitcoin investment. Quite sad what Facebook has become.
