Facebook will also "get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse," Zuckerberg says.

And the U.S.-based content review teams will be based in Texas, not California, going forward

Zuck never met an oppressive regime that he wouldn't gleefully enable for a point on his profit margins.

Ex-Texan here. Unsurprising move by Zuckerman. Boycott him folks, it’s the only language he understands.💰🤮

Why does all this seem like some sort of dystopian, sick script?

What gets me is that Mark Zuckerberg is Jewish with a Chinese-American wife - these people hate people like him! (Yes, I know... money and power)

He figures that he and his family are a few more Niemoller's away from no one coming for them than the average schmoe.

There were a few Jewish people supporting Hitler, and Ernst Röhm (the leader of the SA from 1930 to 1934) was gay. Some people believe they are the exception to the face-eating leopard's diet.

For those wondering what I was referring to.

Moving content review to Texas, a state notoriously filled with even-tempered, unopinionated people. “Go ahead and mess with Texas,” as the infamous saying goes, “we’re very chill.”

this is about employee rights and protections, right?

Yeah like what?? One of these things is not like the other… lol

The Facebook offices are in Austin. All the major cities are pretty blue. Unless he's going to open a content moderation office in a rural county or small town, this is a performative move that is probably more about causing attrition by getting workers who don't want to move to Texas to quit.

oh thank goodness the joke police are here I was so worried!!!!

dshramek.bsky.social•58 days ago

I wouldn't be so casual making fun of the joke police with slipshod sarcasm like that.

schauer.bsky.social•58 days ago

make fun? no sir not me nuh uh, NEVER!!!!

johnrogers.bsky.social•58 days ago

I mean, I know that, but I'm making fun of the framing. There's always three layers to these things.

If it's actually Austin it's in good hands, at least I like to hope so. Those red heads will live in blue areas for the benefits while making everyone around them miserable.
