Meta: “There’s no problem.” Also Meta after getting sued: “Here are the safety changes everyone should adopt.” 😆

They're paying a fine

Are they even implementing safety measures? Doubt it.

As much as i despise Meta and our governments who collude with them, my biggest disappointment is our fellow citizens who enable them the most.

It's sick. Just being on reddit is sick. Fuck having iOS or android is fucking sick.... We are a part of the problem feeding them data as they build data centers and infrastructure of surveillance and ai profiling to further rape freedom and humanity.

People act like this isn't a goal or objective... But look back... So much laid the path for this and it wasn't genuine, it was manipulated, from the top down. It's every man for themselves.

People shouldn't try to take advantage of other people. Lawsuit incoming...

Has the (BBC) person quoted understand the past century? Nothing about western culture isn't fucked up. You can't hate on anyone that wants to bring war to any western culture. We are completely mad. We teach our kids to be abused and groomed to live for madness basically... Regardless of meta. We take pride in cattle culture. The system is literally the same as meta in terms of psychological manipulation. Not only that meta is funded by feds. So this dumb shit is our system. And it's funded because it datamines and manipulates... And it's a precurder to what's coming via the datacenters being built.

Too big to fail is also too big to care.

You can tell when they get too big because they stop caring.

A little competition goes a long way. When that doesn't work, government intervention.

Facebook is not too big to fail. None of their products are vital to anything. They own a couple of websites. Easily replaceable. They could go out of business tomorrow and people would barely notice. The url on their picture sharing site might be a bit different.

Proves they know exactly what they're doing, and that they profit from it. They won't stop doing something profitable without being forced to by law.

Now watch as the users ignore, or bypass them altogether.
