I guess this is what fascists consider “freedom”.
Personally I would rather escape wasting my life in servitude to capital.
What do you mean “now?” I’ve been seeing people say that for years.
Yup, and if you reported it as hate speech they’d review it and say it doesn’t go against community guidelines.
And then YOU get banned for “abusing the report feature”.
Reported a blatantly bigoted post saying that all gays should be burnt alive and I got a 30 day account suspension.
It’s just they’re updating their terms now that Trump is in power. Hate started to rise since the beginning of GenAI on the platform, I highly suspect due to the backlash from socially progressive people against it, and techbros didn’t appreciate that. They’re going mask off now after the elections.
Yeah the left wants things that actually hinder the oligarchs, the right wants to complain about them but will settle for people they don’t like being hurt. Tech companies understand that.
There’s also the fact that the bay area has spent quite a while having the sort of people who love to treat equal rights as a thought exercise
What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?
Is this a meme I don’t know?
Zuck is extraordinarily intelligent. You don’t get into Harvard as a non legacy eating rocks.
Nor did anyone give it to him. He took it by cheating the partners that made Facebook grow in it’s early years.
You’re correct in the second half though. It doesn’t take brains to steal, see November 5 2024.
C’mon now. Don’t do that. Be better than that.
What we have to understand, and accept is that the election was not stolen. It exists in a broken system where only a handful of states actually have votes that matter. And this time, those states willingly voted for trump. Texas was never going to vote for any democrat. California was never going to vote for any republican.
The few states that mattered, namely PA, voted trump.
It sucks, but thats what happened. You can’t just call fraud because you don’t like the gerrymandering and the oppressed voting. Those are issues to address in the years BEFORE the election. Start addressing them now for 2028.
He won the popular vote, you can’t blame that on gerrymandering.
Yeah you can. Lots of people chose not to vote because they knew their votes were too gerrymandered to matter.
It doesn’t take brains to steal but you have to be a special kind of stupid to re elect Trump after his extraordinary failure of 2016-2020.
Ok…do you NOT see this country as a special kind of stupid?
I claim the US is stupid for re electing a known failure.
Oh. Yeah, no you nailed it then. I just misinterpreted your tone. I thought you were argueing.
Zuck is one of humanity’s cancers
Maybe the next Luigi can fix the Z problem
might as well kill the tr*mp and the couch fucker
People are free to out themselves as ignorant on Meta. Technology is getting crazy.
I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me
A fairly large percentage of straight people definitely have mental illness. Likely the same ones that will be saying the same thing about gay/trans.
Okay 🤷♂️.
The problem is that people want to censor what they don’t want to see for others.
“If I don’t like it, then neither should you.”
On facebook and Twitter and others, we cannot say whatever we want. Truth is suppressed while disinformation is allowed. Saying LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill is allowed but mentioning even the word “cisgender” is suppressed. LGBTQ+ content will get removed for being “sexual content” but straight content that’s equivalent will be allowed. LGBTQ+ people face repeated harrassment on these platforms, sometimes to the level of terrorism; if they don’t feel safe posting about LGBTQ+ topics, they cannot say whatever they want. Hell, they get doxed but there’s rarely repercussions for the doxers.
Imagine if I spread lies about you, call you a pedophile, doxx you and then someone SWATs you; would you still feel like you can say anything?
Equality and fairness does not exist on these social platforms.
No, no, no. Some people can say as they choose, some cannot. In any case, we’re all forced to listen to it and participate.
Who’s forcing you to read half baked reckons on FB?
Exactly my point. No one is forced to read bullshit on FB.
The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.
In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn’t matter, but that isn’t how people work in the slightest.
Who gets to decide what’s disinformation?
Once upon a time, scientific consensus classified homosexuality as a mental disorder.
This is why psychology is a soft science and not worthy of the authority afforded to hard sciences.
oooh. now do economics!!
Social sciences are important even if finding truth is messier and happens over a longer period.
In any case, misinformation is often not something that can argued as just a difference of opinion. There are obvious cases like outright lies about the occurrence of events such as “immigrants eating pets en masse” or “the bowling green massacre”, or that the “greenhouse warming effect” doesn’t exist.
Fact checking doesn’t have to be outright removal either, it just needs a critical analysis of the facts, and people can make up their own minds.
There is little to no repercussions for Meta.
?? If you go through insta reels and comments you will encounter a metric called “n words / minute”, I don’t think meta cared about moderation at any point
Soon as Trump gets elected, the disinformation campaign could resume.
Could?
Zuckerberg has mental illness.
Zuckerberg has a moral defect. Evil is not a medical problem.
Well, evil is a medical problem for other people, like those with profitably denied insurance claims.
My mom believes the bullshit about LGBTQ being a mental illness. Can’t wait for it to get worse! Thanks Facebook!
I find homophobia to be a mental illness. I mean it’s right there in the name.
Billionaires have a mental illness
It’s freedom of speech. Being able to say what you want and suffer the consequences of your decisions is what it is all about.
Oh you mean like specifically disallowing people from calling someone crazy unless that person is gay or trans? How the fuck is that “free speech”?
I can post some violent fantasy online and meta won’t allow you to call me crazy for it, but if you call me crazy because you think I’m gay that’s just fine?
Except it’s not really “freedom of speech?” You can’t normally say someone is mentally ill - the verbiage is that you can specifically only call LGBT people mentally ill.
Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.
Immense wealth is not compatible with the moral life. It’s also not compatible with Christianity, but I don’t think any of them truly care about religion. The drive for greed should be a mental illness, especially when it’s at the cost of empathy.
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
But what if the two penises touch? And they like it?
