This is pure Joel Kaplan nonsense and now I get the Nick Clegg quote. But to be fair, Mark has always been a weak and obtuse thinker on these topics. The Texas flex is particularly stupid. - ThreadSky

I was surprised he didn't go to Florida.

Do you think you can arrange an interviews with the manboys? If they can go down to Mar-A-Lago they should be man enough to answer your questions. Start with Tim Cook. Make them squirm.

In any case, don’t say I did not warn you about these petulant man-boys who are also surprisingly completely acquiesent betas. They are, as I wrote in 2018 and stand by more than ever, Mark and others are the digital arms dealers of the Information Age. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/02/opinion/the-expensive-education-of-mark-zuckerberg-and-silicon-valley.html

You did warn, and I do listen! Loved your conversation with Geoff Bennett on the NewsHour last night.

You did warn us. I somehow thought Congress would have the balls enough to put some regulations around social media platforms but I was wrong again. The next decade will be hell.

Just here to say thank you. Your history with these techbro characters is so important to the conversation right now.

Great thread!

Looks to be the lottery winning early platforms evolved into "Networks Of the liars, For the Liars, By the Liars."

They've been a multi-decade real-time example of the #misinformation sink hole that truth gets sucked into.

Nice 'arms dealer' vibes too!

I kept Instagram for local restaurants. Twatter was dropped after K-Boy bought it. Threads kept screwing up my phone, and it was never user friendly, so gone.

"petulant man boys" is the perfect description of these nerds. It's a crime against humanity they are creeping into political power via their oligarchy.

Okay, but the people do have a choice and can shut them down. Do we really need FB in our daily lives? Here’s how to do it:

Is this an opportunity for new businesses to arrive and let facebook meet its needed end.

Burn Book wasn’t only history, it was prophecy. Jesus.

I believed you when you said so originally! So this news is not surprising to me at al. Though, my disgust towards them has slightly increased.

"digital arms dealers of the Information Age" exceptional description.

its-me-t.bsky.social•52 days ago

Billionaire tech bros target the vulnerable... have destroyed humanity... and so much more that we will never ever recover.

In 2004, Zuck started FaceMash, a website where students could vote on which of two randomly selected Harvard women was more attractive, and quickly running afoul of both the administration and several women's groups. He has built his life and fortune on small dick energy.

Their "fact checking" was rw bullsht anyway. I posted truth about project 2025 and got warnings and my reach limited. This will only make it worse but it was already all in for donald before.
