Meta: “There’s no problem.” Also Meta after getting sued: “Here are the safety changes everyone should adopt.” 😆

    “it shouldn’t have taken a lawsuit for this evil company to implement safety measures” it’s like the whistleblower never met humanity.

    As much as i despise Meta and our governments who collude with them, my biggest disappointment is our fellow citizens who enable them the most.

      If it restores any faith in humanity, they’re specifically designed to maximize addictiveness and minimize perceived harm.

      I even understand (and condemn) those who work there for the fat paychecks

      Governments push citizens onto Facebook by not providing a publicly funded alternative for what it does, like finding local events, marketplace, and dating. There has to be some central place for everyone to find each other, and even European governments seem to have decided a foreign monopolist should do that.

      It’s how I feel deeply about social media’s existence. Facebook, Reddit, MySpace, Twitter .etc weren’t ‘evil’ just for simply being made and standing on its own. It needed fuel and that fuel is in the form of the many thousands to millions of people who’ve used them for years.

      And those same people have turned around and now put blame on said social media sites for how bad they’ve become. Never caring to realize that they majorly were built that way off the behaviors of what people did and continue to do on there.

      It’s sick. Just being on reddit is sick. Fuck having iOS or android is fucking sick… We are a part of the problem feeding them data as they build data centers and infrastructure of surveillance and ai profiling to further rape freedom and humanity.

      People act like this isn’t a goal or objective… But look back… So much laid the path for this and it wasn’t genuine, it was manipulated, from the top down. It’s every man for themselves.

    Proves they know exactly what they’re doing, and that they profit from it. They won’t stop doing something profitable without being forced to by law.

    Too big to fail is also too big to care.

    You can tell when they get too big because they stop caring.

    A little competition goes a long way. When that doesn’t work, government intervention.

      Facebook is not too big to fail. None of their products are vital to anything. They own a couple of websites. Easily replaceable. They could go out of business tomorrow and people would barely notice. The url on their picture sharing site might be a bit different.

        I think you underestimate how many people use facebook to organize events and messenger to communicate. For sure people would adapt but saying it can disappear and nobody would notice isn’t accurate, it would very much disrupt some communities

            Many alternatives doesn’t work. There has to be a central place where everything can be found, like the Fediverse.

    Has the (BBC) person quoted understand the past century? Nothing about western culture isn’t fucked up. You can’t hate on anyone that wants to bring war to any western culture. We are completely mad. We teach our kids to be abused and groomed to live for madness basically… Regardless of meta. We take pride in cattle culture. The system is literally the same as meta in terms of psychological manipulation. Not only that meta is funded by feds. So this dumb shit is our system. And it’s funded because it datamines and manipulates… And it’s a precurder to what’s coming via the datacenters being built.
