Let’s take his ugly name off San Francisco General Hospital and ship his ugly ass to Texas. Facebook is boring anyway. He had a very negative impact on San Francisco.
And according to me, Zuckerberg will tell whatever lie Trump wants him to because he's afraid of the consequences of not doing so. He also likes tax breaks. If can we remember this going forward, we'll spare ourselves, not only unnecessary amazement, but a little right-wing propaganda as well.
Tons of GOP misinformation, calls for violence, hate speech, etc., were permitted! More frequently than not they were censoring queer content and leftists! JFC, they already *had* this!
in all seriousness we can skirt around the edges of this bullshit beseeching the EU etc to invoke strong regulation but at the end of the day we frankly need some more Luigi Mangiones
I sure hope everyone is being normal about Texas, a state where 45% of the voting pop voted Harris, a plurality of residents are Latine, and over a million (likely undercounted) queer people reside, in the comments under this post
Without exaggeration: all Facebook content moderators will be required to live where it’s not only illegal to get an abortion, it’s illegal to leave the state to get an abortion.
This is touted as eliminating bias, rather than creating it.
Is Zuck trying to be Elon light now? I mean I get it, you get to control a President but really, this is Zuck we are talking about! He does know kung fu though or something like that.
The only reason I didn't delete my FB acct in 2016.... I have friends & family there but I only pop in now & then. I activated my Twitter account & spent most time there. When I know Ukrainians use this platform, I'll delete my X acct. UKR is why I've stayed there. I blocked Elmo & MAGAs. #fuckzuck
MAGA constantly lies and posts misinformation so that makes checkers checking them biased? I left FB because it wasn't being removed or the person. FB & IG are on the fast path to cesspool Twitter.
Screenshoting my follows on IG & hoping to find them on here or YouTube. I left FB after Covid and only dipped into the FB light Threads for a moment. Next is my removal of all connections to Google & Amazon.
While relocating trust and safety teams to Texas might aim to address concerns about bias, it’s worth noting that Texas has enacted several laws that could be viewed as polarizing and not reflective of a broadly unbiased or "neutral" environment.
Realizing that is true after doing more research. Crazy how expensive it is to live even in places once thought to be less so. Thanks for the correction
Here's the big lie...we don't get any of the services other states do. We never took the Medicaid expansion. They don't find education. So we are the bottom ranked in almost everything but still pay a lot. And the magidiots biast " no state tax, it's cheaper". They are dumb af
Bar the door Katie; disinformation has been given even freer range today. The truth dies in the garbage heap of right wing extremist propaganda. 1984 on steroids!
I’m trying to stop helping billionaires from getting wealthier while destroying our democracy. Left twitter and stopped amazon. Will delete FB.
Support small businesses. It’s really easy.
That a given😎But I hear it’s cheaper to live their where the utilities are expensive and at times unreliable😔I hear there’s a red hatted posey heading that way maybe he should hop on the caravan🧐
Among other places. "As of May, Accenture billed Facebook for roughly 1,900 full-time moderators in Manila; 1,300 in Mumbai, India; 850 in Lisbon; 780 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; 300 in Warsaw; 300 in Mountain View, Calif.; 225 in Dublin; and 135 in Austin, Texas" https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/31/technology/facebook-accenture-content-moderation.html
I believe they said they are moving American moderation and changing the American moderation policies. Sounds like other countries may not be subject to these new rules?
Those jobs are horrible but I don't know what people expect them to do instead. Just not have content moderation? They should pay them more but it's still going to be a horrible job regardless
Facebook should not exists. Its never been good for us as a human species. It destroys the mental health of users and moderators. It has destroyed & commodified our thoughts, values, lives, economies, politics and our social interactions for the worst.
As a lifelong Texan, age 70, I can say there are few places, if any, as biased and bigoted asTexas. No objectivity whatsoever in Texas Trump country. 💔 💙
As a relocated Texan, I concur. I can hear them now … “But who are your PEOPLE, honey?” And “You ain’t from ‘round here, is ya?!”
I say this with love and full confidence … if they don’t know “your people” and/or you’re not from there, nobody will care what you say. It’s immediately suspicious.
Nothing to do with state laws. Meta has to hire people to do content review, and the cities are where the qualified people are. Austin, Houston, San Antonio, even Dallas are all democratic strongholds.
Reminds me of when our daughter and her friend went from Seattle to visit Austin because it was supposed to be “cool.” Her assessment? “I guess it was cool. For Texas.”
And are YOU and your physician wife moving out of SF to the hinterlands of Texas and Tennessee? We wish! Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Zuckie.
The aim of media owners (like Musk, Bezos & Zuck) is to clear the way for far-right propaganda. Trump is going to install a Russian-style dictatorship in a few days' time, & these oligarchs have chosen to join forces with him to get even richer, out of greed but also as a result of Trump's threats.
So Zuck is firing his CA workers and replacing them with TX workers then? Simply moving his California team into a red state wouldn't automatically reprogram any biases they might have. This is nonsense. But after years of surveillance capitalism they know exactly how stupid the general public is.
At least he's not attempting to mask what his intentions are here. Cards on the table for everybody. Nobody has any excuses for staying on Meta platforms, it's a choice.
Trump is the face of MAGA. Musk, Peter Thiel and Vivek are the ones who are getting tech companies to fall in line. Zuckerberg owes Peter Thiel big time. Musk and Thiel own Trump and Vance.
From katehon...'Here comes the phenomenon of trumpo-futurism............ AI reeducated by the team of War Room of Steve Bannon and Alex Jones. Dark Enlightenment and black accelerationism.
Exciting. Not to forget to publish Epstein list and to arrest Alexander Soros' .
You know, I understand. But there are news deserts out there when it comes to what used to be in the local paper -- especially obits. I'm old. I want to know if my friends are still kicking. Screw X. I've been gone for a lonnnnng time.
Basically it was suppress politics on social while Dems had control and now that the MAGATS are in control, allow it and keep a kind space. Which means censor Dems.
One of the keys to the MAGA movement is the realization that objective truth relies on social norms and institutions and, as such, can be defined and controlled through social constructs. It’s the ultimate enclosure of a central pillar supporting our commons.
I think its a bit worse than the Tech bros "obeying in advance" - I think they are collaborators who share a lot of Trump's vision of a dystopian America, but think they can control him. I suspect they will find that they can't.
Cowardice assumes that there’s some vestige of decency and good faith that they’re too afraid to express, which is not true. They’re just bad people with bad values.
Also, one less business expense.
Most states require employers to carry workers' compensation insurance depending on the number of employees, with a few exceptions for certain industries. The only state that does not require companies to purchase workers’ compensation coverage is Texas.
His motive is not only financial but also to bias the narrative towards their favor. The timing is impeccable, too - right after he ripped from the orange kool-aid.
In other words Zuckerberg is about to make Facebook more like Twitter which is already there it is a cesspool of disinformation but he wants more disinformation yet
So he’s basically doing exactly what Elon did when he bought Twitter. I guess Elon told him he’d save billions by moving to TX b/c of no state taxes and a corrupt AF government. FB is as bad as Twitter now.
Its looking more and more desirable and less extreme to consider the Pacific States of America. Or just California, the country with the fourth largest economy in the world.
Got off years ago… went to Twitter… now off Twitter and on BlueSky, hope these fascist white supremacist sexist oligarchs don’t take over this app too.
When people said you should use WhatsApp instead of plain ol Messages on an iPhone, I was forever “no, I am not using an app owned by that guy for text messages.”
I wish I could afford to say that. In my country 🇨🇷 not using WhatsApp is akin to not existing, as if everybody has forgotten email and sms still exist. Everyone from the government down has given Meta way more power than they deserve.
The Texas GOP Contingency, headed by Gov. Greg Abbott & the Indicted AG Ken Paxton, lead the GOP in their platform of Hate against all those who do not look/pray/vote like them. The Meta false idol throws his MAGAt base red meat.

The tech industry has been a disease for California. We are glad to see you go, byeeeeeee! Next step, rename ZSFG. Can’t wait to see tents popping up in Texas! Still will find a way to blame Newsom.
Zuck is delusional. Biases are a natural result of the human brains process information, shaped by evolution, individual experiences, and social environments. Biases can lead to errors in judgment, but they also help us make quick decisions or navigate complex environments. Texans are biased!!!!
Well, again it's just bending the knee: As long as any bias is right-wing bias, then we don't upset the GOP bullies. (This assumes, correctly, that the other side will remain sane.) So Meta is just promoting peace and profit.
Ummm, people in California think women have penises, think the west is evil, and that Mother Earth is reaping vengeance on them for building homes to seek shelter from its harsh conditions.
So I’d say he’s right but you won’t understand cause your probably a commie
As a Texan, I can assure you that the far right Texas Rethuglicans who’ve been abusing their powers for the past 23 years, are most certainly VERY biased with a MAGAt orientation.
Yes! I thought this was a very strange one. The diplomatic thing to do would have been to pretend he was opening offices across the states but it's like he wants you to know he's appeasing Texans? Would have been too obvious to just put it in Florida I guess. So weird.
Great, Zuck. Peace out to a state run by the corrupt, the criminal, the exploitative, the ignorant, the patriarchal, and the violent. Cleans up CA environment, preserving it for people who aren’t actively intent on destroying humanity and the planet.
Wow. He really has pointed his ass up in the air for Daddy Donald and his psychotic husband.
I think I'm going to sell my Quest 3 and bin Facebook. This is unreal.
I want to know where he thinks he’s going to get an unbiased audience in Texas. We are maybe the most biased. Live in a blue city? You have to BLEED BLUE to overcompensate for the rest of the state. Live in a red town/city? Well there is no rationalizing with you.
Exactly. He's not moving to Texas for any sort of moral or political high ground. He's moving there because wages are lower, unions are virtually nonexistent, and labor laws are seldom enforced.
About half of the things you listed are a direct result of Texas being morally corrupt and their corrupt ignorant views in the political theater. While I get what you mean, objectively Texas is like this because their politics and morals are corrupted
I understand you people aren't all there, but he's not moving the company to Texas - just the content moderation, because it's far easier to build balanced teams in Texas than in California.
That's false. If he wanted balance he should have moved towards the Midwest NOT the deep south. NOT to the state that is well known to be just as biased as the accused cali of being. In fact with Texas being a heavily red state damn near crimson all he's doing is going from one extreme to the other.
It's just easier to find diverse people in Texas (inner diversity, the one that matters) to do social media moderation than in Cali. Also, a better place to live, generally speaking - that's why Texas is gaining population and California losing.
He wants the tax cuts, free land, incentives, bought judges, cheap labor, almost free water/power. Just like Elon. He can pollute here. He can hide workers deaths. Big list.
It's really great how the Democrats spent years back scratching these tech clowns and helping them build their fortunes instead of clamping down on them.
No, he knows that is the quickest and easiest way to not have women or minorities involved in moderation. He knows America chose to become the Confederate States of America and are all in on the White Supremacy and patriarchy.
It virtually always is. Expect stories to come out in the coming days about efforts to unionize among their customer care and trust and safety staff. This will almost certainly be the real reason.

I have my doubts that this is anything but a ploy to bend the knee & appease MAGA.
Tons of GOP misinformation, calls for violence, hate speech, etc., were permitted! More frequently than not they were censoring queer content and leftists! JFC, they already *had* this!
(I hate this reality)

Book burners and Book banners are never the good guys, Mark. Easy tip.
Interesting.
There's a lot of reasons to not use anything attached to Meta. This is just one small one.
I say this with love and full confidence … if they don’t know “your people” and/or you’re not from there, nobody will care what you say. It’s immediately suspicious.
I’d love to bring y’all to mine on Sunday—it’s not like those “other” churches
Fresno
Bakersfield
Temecula
Sacramento
And more....are all in California.
Imperial Valley
The list goes on and and
just look at who they vote for
From Texas.
Notice that zuck isn't moving his residence there.
It's democracy versus greed.

Zuck is a piece of shit.
I've met Californians who are trumpy AF and Texans who bleed Blue.
Maybe he should talk to that Meta team who built those AIs.
You know, the white people to pretended to be a Black lesbian mom.. they seemed unbiased.
I knew Threads was a temporary port in a storm.
No broligarchs.
