FBook users R majority IN INDIA. =folding democracy & desperate general society. No ad $ from India. 99% of what gives Zuck Billion$ is USERS in USA. Because users engage w the ads! U have the power as AMERICANS to delete FB. Instagram & Whats App & Bezo platforms NEXTDOOR & service bizAmazon.
The misinformation on Facebook is so bad now that every other post I see is some AI garbage from pages with a name that makes it sound American, but the page managers are always in another country.
Don’t forget the 100 year old grannies baking peach cream filled cakes! I’m also convinced that the commenters praising this crap are part of the scam.
You are one of my heroes. Thank you for so clearly bringing the receipts.
I shut down all my META platform activity a couple weeks ago, under strong complaints from friends and family. I gave them all time to give me emails and phone numbers, and my Bluesky identity. I do not regret this move.
None of us need Facebook or Instagram. In fact, they damage us more than help us. Why waste your beautiful life looking at a screen that feeds you junk and falsehoods? Go be with a real live human, read, help other people, call your mom, learn something.
Here, TikTok, Facebook, and in the old days, even Twitter, can be places to connect with people in communities you don’t have near you, and can be ways to encourage others to participate and see new ideas you normally might not get to.
You can spend too much time pursuing rw hobbies also. 🤷🏼♂️
For disabled people, social media has been a great resource for community and information. It is therefore particularly important that we can obtain good information, not disinformation. We would love to go out and gather with friends, but we can’t. We need a safe, reliable space on the internet.
I left Facebook years ago when my neighbor started posting "plandemic" crap. Then, some random woman I went to high school with started arguing with my 70+ year old cousin because he was defending his trans daughter. 🤬
Yep. Facebook has been great way for me to see what goes on in family and friends lives - deaths, births, other big events. I’m part of breast cancer support groups today. I don’t even mind the ads as I find some cool things. I don’t use it for news or politics.
This is not some “new” Zuck. For two years I was one of a small group of civil rights leaders who regularly pressed Zuckerberg to deal w/disinformation, hate speech, voter suppression & Trump incitement on the platform. Myanmar had already happened so we knew the danger of unfettered speech.
In the early convos, Zuck was defensive. Then (kinda like Musk’s “free speech crusader”phase), Zuckerberg became grandiose. Remember the infamous Georgetown civil rights speech?
Did you try translating your concerns in terms of how he could make more $$$?? How understanding the history and the issues would help him become a trillionaire? No? ...well, that was probably the disconnect.
zuck (and almost all social media near as I can tell) are determined to do the least amount of moderating as possible because moderation reduces profit. they all try to couch their actions as having some noble purpose, but it is greed that drives them.
Zuckerberg lacks an education in Humanities. Tech bros are really deficient humans, in the sense that they fail to understand the consequences of their analytical thinking on real people.
I get the sense that he’s just fed up with *his* estimation of the left and feels granted permission by Trump bc he’s no longer required to uphold larger social contracts but most especially his responsibility to the virtual town squares he created.
Zuckerberg has no understanding of the First Amendment. Yes, it is an outrage to see him bringing MLK, Jr. into his absurdly messy rationalization of free speech.
The rich act like they give a damn. Ask anyone of them about MLK Jr, and they couldn't say anything of substance.
You can't get through to these bigoted plantation babies.
mark zuckerberg doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground
looking him and all of these other imbeciles one has to conclude that stumbling onto a billion-dollar fortune is just a happy accident of circumstances and sociopathy
I believe he DOES KNOW. Check out this TedTalk that demonstrates how FB was weaponized and used Ads to launch a misinformation campaign that resulted in Brexit. It's a big deal Watch this and learn. He did it 5 years ago!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSMr-3GGvQ
Mark Zuckerberg just donated 1 million dollars to Trump and welcomed him back to Facebook. There is nothing to say except duh🤣he does not know black history. Civil Rights history.
Who can ever forget when the Silicon Valley tech billionaires called it for a congressional hearing and during it a few hung up. The hubris is pretty stunning.
Zuck is bending the knee to Trump just like all the other billionaires. But unlike Musk, who doesn’t care what we think, Zuckerberg is trying to gaslight us that what he’s proposing is reasonable so he can keep subscribers.
At least Zuck tries to be subtle! Meanwhile on X, Musk just cranks up his own volume to 11 and calls it 'free speech.' That's why more of us are finding peace here on Bluesky. Follow https://twitterexodus.org to join the movement.
Zuck's and Musk's motivation is more money through divisive content and the arguments and engagements that follow.
And tax cuts.
Their principle is insatiable greed at democracy's expense.
Moving from Threads to Bluesky - hope others read your comments about Zuckerberg and remember his actions over the last 5 years. Maybe, they will move here too!
It’s thanks to folks like you who continue to truth tell . Thank you for sharing this . Going forward we need to continue to share what is really going on regardless of the noice and planned chaos .
So long as they don't come after him, he's fine with them. And they're fine with him being... you know, one of THEM... so long as he has money and is useful. And not a second longer.
I remember when his uncle did an interview saying if Miller’s policy proposals were in effect when his family fled the Nazis he wouldn’t even be alive! His policies would have barred his own family’s entry. All of their family that didn’t come to America to seek refuge died! What a disgrace.
I was part of a group who tried to quell the "real names" policy w Facebook almost a decade ago. While we had some success & a public apology there are still people who get targeted. I loathe Zuck. I wish I could quit Facebook. https://youtu.be/buwRW5x3Sfw?si=h4i3nMbfmvFpI7gd
Not that Instagram wants people to share photos with family and friends anymore, but you can still kind of use it for that and that’s all I’m interested in using it for. Are there any alternatives left?
What is that? It's impossible to see at least for me anyway, but if the ultimate result is that it takes 30 days to permanently close your FB account then that's the way it works anyway. You could just do it the normal way. Assuming you're showing a way other than normal.
All of Facebook is a mess. So many people’s “business advertising” accounts have been hacked, advertising accounts charged, & not able to reopen them after reporting identity theft.
This is happening because Trump demanded it. Zuck is a pansy ass kisser. Anyone still on that shithole site needs to leave ASAP. Leave it to the liars and cheats.
What this will REALLY result in is a whole bunch of old people getting scammed out of their life savings just like on Twitter and Truth social. With zero regulation, scam bots will proliferate.
Oh boy so true. I volunteer on a fraud hotline and my calls are from people being scammed on Marketplace, crypto scams and very lonely people thinking they are in a relationship with their favorite celebrity. Thousands of dollars lost, including life savings.
I read a REALLY heartbreaking article about all these people scammed on truth social through fake crypto scams and love scams. Every story was similar. Every person scammed out of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars
I have really talked to these people or worse their families trying to tell them it’s a scam. It’s heartbreaking cause the families hands are tied while they see their loved ones lose everything.
If only someone had the power to help protect people from these scams 🤔. If only there was some way to get them off social media platforms when they display a pattern of behavior 🤔. Whatever shall we do. We’re living in the scam age. Fake products. Fake people. Fake everything.
Absolutely, I think law enforcement is overwhelmed because it is so pervasive at this point. I know people always scammed others, but the technology has blown it up.
I left over the weekend. Not only can we fully expect the Muskification of all the Meta platforms, but they don't even work well. Guess that's pretty typical, right? When your focus is on $, Ux is not really a priority.
Thank you for all you do! Didn’t we get warned about the dangers of social media in the Netflix docu “the social dilemma” and “social animals”? People who worked at these companies warned us! We need to mobilize a mass exodus & extinction of these platforms! Zuckmuskbezos need to be cancelled
Comments
and it's a photo of a truck, or a log cabin, or a baby, or a flag, or some bullshit like that.
"My mom/son/husband made this but nobody likes it/everyone said it was tacky can you give a compliment"
usually a photo of a quilt, afghan, woodwork, cupcakes.
of you!

Good on you for not propping up that creep, Zuckerberg
She shouldn’t have to take on Zuck after everything her family has been thru to be fair tho
You can't get through to these bigoted plantation babies.

I THINK that means fact vs alternative fact.

And tax cuts.

But, he would be incapable of running that platform without thousands of talented people willing to do his bidding just because he pays them well.
Every tyrant requires willing officers and foot soldiers.

I’m just glad I got to see it here.
