What is going on with Facebook's (Meta) new community guidelines?
The zuck will never be a human
His explanation is really nauseating and I am trying to understand what is really happening. Just want to explain this to my facebook group at my local community but don't want to misinform them.
What's to know?
Facebook makes money by selling ads. Ads for stuff that idiots fall for are the most profitable.
Idiots want to be able to rage at LGBTQ+ people right now, so Facebook is going to allow it so those people spend more time raging on their platform (and therefore generating more money for Facebook)
They only had the restrictions in place before because the government was going to go after them for not tamping down the hate, but the incoming government clearly won't care in the slightest.
I don't even think it's this, you look at Twitter and see their American numbers tanking, becoming more like that doesn't make sense from a business standpoint.
Now look at how every billionaire and big corp is bending over backwards to give Trump money. In his mind, a lot of them were complicit in 2020 for his loss, and everyone knows he looks for revenge.
These people like Zuck have no actual morals, he's just hanging a sign that says he's on their side, desperate not to be targeted. This is the same way he acted with Obama, the left just liked it.
He's explicitly allowing bigotry and hate speech...
You don't need to warn anyone, they'll see it soon enough if not already.
Just tell them you've had enough, and you're leaving for _______ alternative if others are also thinking of leaving.
Then leave, there's zero reason to still be there.
Remember, Facebook started out as a non-consensual 'hot or not' site, to rate women at Zuck's college.
As they grew, they became loudly pious about their 'strong content guidelines' (i.e. you could get banned for a mastectomy picture), but still didn't care about hate speech. Only a month ago, FB refused to take down an explicit call for the lynching of PM Justin Trudeau, and another saying trans kids need to be "raken to the train station." Neither of these violated FB's content regulations.
So framing this as Zuck bending to Trump is misleading. It's much more him taking off his mask of civility, finally.
Like Trump, like Musk, like Poilievre, the man is a weasel and a Nazi.
The eff I’m pretty sure made a blog post about this, check it out!
