    Zuck is going mask-off. I expected it from Elon with how reckless he is, but I thought Zuck was more subtle than that. He probably thinks he can bury it in bullshit and everyone will forget.

      Guarantee they’ll ban you for that. They’re paving a road for him while the news media carries him on their back.

    Great idea, because it’s less important to hold someone to account when they’re lying to become President. God it is so infuriating how much power loves to support power, fucking sociopaths.

    Having everyone behave properly? No.

    Let those who want to misbehave do it.

      Hopefully Facebook does for willingly allowing misinformation, against their own policies.

    Oh neat! Tailoring to racist, fascist, assholes, who threaten nuclear war on a whim, just so Facebook can get a little engagement boost. Fuck Mark Fuckerberg.

      So that’s what we do now. Eh? Just tuck our tails and hand the nation over to the Confederacy because of the impotent threats from maniacs?
