How strange, it reminds me of the mafia collecting protection money, but on a larger scale!

kasst.bsky.social•199 days ago

Very much so
Wonder what the offer or the threat is ?

indyhetty.bsky.social•199 days ago

Yep buying yr freedom in a dictatorship...wow. Terrifying future ahead.

dwflye.bsky.social•199 days ago

Are my Facebook and Instagram accounts going the same way as Twitter/X?

dawnbritten.bsky.social•199 days ago

It’s just mad.

simonpease.bsky.social•199 days ago

Protection racket.

neil0659.bsky.social•199 days ago

Trying to find a reason to challenge/disagree.

I gave up. 🙃

bjbrightwell.bsky.social•199 days ago

Fickle fucker Zucker.

poppy53.bsky.social•199 days ago

Will be now get a high position in the rapist's government!

ramshackle78.bsky.social•199 days ago

Practice as old as time & that's pocket money for billionaires.
What's more concerning is that they actually seem to believe Trump is awesome, it's conviction, not just bootlicking

realredmonkey.bsky.social•199 days ago

What a spineless weak man-boy Zuckerberg is...

mattadas.bsky.social•199 days ago

Democracy is cheap in America

gratefulmamaof2.bsky.social•199 days ago

They have no moral compasses, just cold and ugly greed.

mactakeshi.bsky.social•199 days ago

Its such a shame that millionaire Socialists turn into Capitalist Billionaires

pwc50.bsky.social•199 days ago

What with Time's POTY "award", fawning tech-bros & the rest of the US media brown-nosing like crazy, it must be getting very crowded up there, ugh...

leeprescott.bsky.social•199 days ago

No Meta in our data.

It's one big club, and we ain't in it

jontafkasi.bsky.social•198 days ago

If you're really rich, chances are you'll get together with rich people. Not all the poor people who made you rich. Even if you started out poor, you're really likely to do rich people stuff. Still, headlines and that.

rolandbutter.bsky.social•199 days ago

Protection racket.

It's like they elected Al Capone to be POTUS.

fatnun.bsky.social•199 days ago

disgusting. time for a Metaxodus.

anarchy101.bsky.social•198 days ago

He did interfere greatly by elevating the RW 'Holes, Bots, & Trolls. I was booted by him/it on 11/02/2024 for asking compelling questions "for likes."

dannygolding.bsky.social•199 days ago

They’re all bending the knee to Trump

iskragoch.bsky.social•199 days ago

Corporations bowing before an authoritarian? Where have you seen that before? Hmmm.

hansladegaard.bsky.social•199 days ago

After sending Mikhail Khodorkovsky in prison for ‘tax fraud’ the other Russian oligarchs quickly fell into line behind Putins dictatorship. Looks like just the threat of something similar is enough for the US billionaires.

pmosletov.bsky.social•199 days ago

It’s a cult cartel - loyalty has been weaponised

petergeoghegan.bsky.social•199 days ago

Meta/Zuckerberg did happily make money from fraudulent anti Harris Facebook ads during the election https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilybaker-white/2024/10/31/facebook-ads-election-misinformation/

Increasingly feels like big Tech - and big Tech’s bros - are not just antithetical to democracy, they are anti democratic

goatteeboy.bsky.social•199 days ago

The Broligarchs in action.

johnpeek.bsky.social•199 days ago

It's why I refuse to have anything to do with Threads

mactakeshi.bsky.social•199 days ago

Aye when people say don't hate the player, hate the game, we can all agree these Bros are the game.

eddiedoc.bsky.social•199 days ago

The Nerd Reich right enough.

salart60.bsky.social•198 days ago

POS.

andmarwood.bsky.social•199 days ago

It's not big Tech or big Tech bros - it's billionaires.
Billionaires are antidemocratic.

debenore.uk•199 days ago

This behaviour is consistent with everything I have learnt about Zuckerberg. Disappointing but not unexpected.

sergeantpluck.bsky.social•199 days ago

Protection money.

nadinbrzezinski.bsky.social•199 days ago

Exactly

marlyrocks.bsky.social•199 days ago

Let's see how many users leave his platforms, like they did with Muskrat!

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•199 days ago

Sadly I doubt it, Facebook users are far less political and there isn't a decent alternative like there is with Twitter

marlyrocks.bsky.social•199 days ago

You might be right, I used twitter for political info as the BBC is biased, but most of my friends no longer bother with FB for posting anything so it's almost like an empty waiting room.

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•199 days ago

Yh, FB is more for social stuff, sharing pictures of kids, dogs, cats etc and arranging to meet friends

FB apparently actually actively discourages politics in newsfeeds

fritzlb.bsky.social•199 days ago

He sees the unique courage, boldness and Patriotism of President Trump. It is so obvious, he is TIME Magazine's Man of the Year.

tristanllyr93.bsky.social•199 days ago

Yeah, so was Hitler in 1938. POTY means nothing.

fritzlb.bsky.social•199 days ago

That 'Hitler" nonsense, that idiotic comparison to President Trump and his Voters, THAT is part of why Democrats LOST.

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•199 days ago

I mean... it's true, if the Democrats lost because they spoke the truth that's worrying

tristanllyr93.bsky.social•199 days ago

Trump has one of the tiniest majorities with the popular vote in US history, nothing to boast about.

It’s the US’s messed up electoral system that got him through. Any credible system would have denied Trump’s candidacy the moment he was indicted. Let’s be honest, this stinks of corruption.

fritzlb.bsky.social•199 days ago

I think we are coming out of a dark Biden Tunnel, where he was controlled and handled, leading to great damage to America's Safety, Security and Values. Things will get better in 2025, over half of Americans agree.

tristanllyr93.bsky.social•199 days ago

The track record of Trump’s chosen cabinet members (as well as his own) argues otherwise.

I genuinely worry for what’s ahead for US people (including the 49.9% that blindly voted him in)

guzzigrowler.bsky.social•199 days ago

Ewww, honestly who’d want to put their tongue there?

amgreen.bsky.social•199 days ago

Sure it’s just a coincidence 🙄
