i don't know if that changes anything. Facebook is already 30% his voters and 70% bots
Also me looking at junk on marketplace and getting the tea from the local group
I don't know anybody who is below 50 that votes for Biden lol
Just like Google, the fixation is far more on engagement farming than content quality management.
Trump stuff gets the clicks, so you're going to see a lot more of it. Also, expect to see an increasing wave of ☯👺 𝐏ᑌSşƳ ιᑎ вι𝕠 🐤🐧 tier posts.
Cowabunga it is.
I mean I see the sensibility after reading the article, especially when applied to every other politician and the like. But... Trump is hate... Its all he spews everywhere....
hate and lies. trump summed up.
Huh, I took it more as
Trump broke platform rules -> Trump punished with restrictions
Other politicians didn't break rules -> no restrictions
... Fear of public perception and loss of advertising revenue ...
Trump restrictions lifted -> now it's "fair" for Trump to do whatever he likes on Facebook and be treated the same as politicians who don't break platform rules
It only makes sense when optimizing for ad revenue and there we go, I just answered my own question. Let's not pretend this is about actual fairness or objectivity on Facebook's part.
This doesn't really matter anyways, he started his own social network, he doesn't really want to participate in the social networks he can't control
I agree that tech companies should stay out of politics. I still hate Facebook and Meta in general...
Meta is cancer
Facebook was cancer, Meta is metastatic cancer.
Ooh, I finally understand their name change.
It was right there in front of us all along!
Please reply to my post with any random emoji if you had tangible relief and improved relationships when trump was kicked off Twitter.
I noticed an immediate and drastic difference in my work environment, for example. I could elaborate but would ramble

and this is why anti-meta fedipact was necessary
Luckily very few people use Facebook.
Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view
What the fucking fuck? Yeah only the most vulnerable billions use it. Not a big deal.
Sure
Nobody
They would be stupid not to. At this point it's almost guaranteed he will win the presidency. Nobody would like to make an enemy of POTUS.
You get the downvotes, but in a way you're right. With scotus ruling the next president could do whatever they want as an official act and there would be little to no recourse. Sure they could sue but that would almost definitely get tied up in courts for a long time. Mr. Robot is just covering his own ass. That ruling by scotus will be the downfall of the wrong people are able to take advantage of it.
"Just covering his ass" this attitude is why our country is fucked. Well as long as it benefits the millionaire personally to be a coward and sell us out, then that's okay
These millionaires want all the power but refuse accountability. Why give him an out?
A fascist accelerationist is poised for a possible win in the next election, and you've gone full Roko's Basilisk and have decided to aid and abet the Fascist because if he wins, you want to be spared from his wrath.
We'll let me tell you, the fascists will eventually come for you if they are allowed to take over, so you better drop the defeatism and rally for a second Biden term like your life depends on it. Plenty of people's do.
Or just become a fascist out of cowardice, and the resistance will show you what real fear looks like when we find you, and I assure you, Trump won't be there to save you.
So think long and hard about what the actual stupid decision would be here. Announcing your plan to enable ethnofascism in America isn't exactly a demonstration of intelligence if you're hoping to avoid conflict.
What are you on?
You literally just said it would be stupid not to support Trump.
So what are you? Stupid, or a Trump Supporter?
Either way, we can safely discard your opinion.
They're all fucking fascists, Trumps just not part of the old agenda.
Fascism has a fairly concrete definition, and while it does exist on a spectrum, I'll take the 15% fascist party over the 100% fascist party, hands down. Not a hard decision. 15 is closer to zero than 100, so we're closer to the ideal.
I did not decide shit. I just explained the reasoning behind Facebook's actions. Now everyone is calling me a fascist. I'm a progressive FFS. You guys are out of your minds.

The zuck suck. It's like a blowjob with all the pleasure but none of the release.
Booooooooooo
That's all. I'm too drunk for a nuanced thought. So just booooooooooo.
Hell yea! I can't wait to see all the downvotes and backlash for this comment lol.
