Meta is failing to stop dangerous disinformation in the world’s most spoken languages.

  Well, yeah. They straight up said they were going to stop. Not sure what’s new here…

  Let’s dispel with this illusion that Meta doesn’t know exactly what it’s doing. Hate speech, compromising US National security for access to Chinese markets, dumbing down political discourse and literally everything else, manipulating hundreds of millions of people to make them insecure and more vulnerable to advertising.

  Meta is as evil as evil gets. All confirmed by insider whistleblowers. They paid to play, so they’ll get away with it. Just know what you’re supporting when you participate in their ecosystem.

    Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

    [Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

    Zuck: People just submitted it.

    Zuck: I don’t know why.

    Zuck: They “trust me”

    Zuck: Dumb fucks

  Failing implies trying

  Pfft…

  Disinformation on a global scale is Meta’s raison d’etre… It’s their best revenue creator. Especially in the current US “gov’t” climate. They are now shielded.

  Anyone not clued into this fact is either not paying attention or is being willfully ignorant.

  Oh, and FUCK ZUCK!!

    Don’t pretend it wasn’t like that under any US ‘climate’.

  Failing to stop.

  Also known as aiding and abetting.

    Yep. They’re intentionally propagating it.

  …and yet they are pretty sharp at taking down/silencing any anti israel/pro palestine posts 😔.

  That’s literally the point. Social media is literally one of Peter Thiel & co’s weapons to overthrow & destabilize democracies. If they succeed in the US, they plan to do it to every democracy.

  Easy to frame lies as “free speech” when you control what everyone gets to see

  “failing” implies that’s the goal, when we know that meta promotes disinformation because it benefits them

  Time for the EU to seriously fine them and block them until full compliance.

  You can’t fail something you never actually tried.

  Failing? But they’re not trying. They’ve been soft on disinformation for years and are known for meddling in elections.

    Worse, they’re actively incentivizing it.

  Are they still “failing” if they’re doing it on purpose?

• Bloomcole@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Always was like this

  I’d more likely argue they’re facilitating it, but that’s just me.

  Uh yeah. What else is new? This is why nobody should be using ANY of their stuff. They are objectively a force bent on social destruction for profit. By using any of their services or buying any of their products, you are contributing whether you agree with them or not.
