Summary

President Joe Biden criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to replace factchecking with community-moderated notes, calling it “really shameful” and “contrary to American justice.”

Zuckerberg defended the move, claiming factchecking undermined public trust and stating the company aims to prioritize free speech.

The decision follows Meta’s rollback of diversity and inclusion programs amid legal and political shifts.

Biden, in his final press call as president, emphasized the importance of countering misinformation, labeling Meta’s approach irresponsible and harmful to truth and public discourse.

    When the president calls a mega corporation’s action “shamefull” is this some kind of regulation? Is this some kind of penalty?

      It’s just virtue signaling. What he actually meant to do is send weapons to Israel but he got confused.

        Hey non-voting lefties! Join us in appreciating the last time you’ll see a President say something that’s not only factually correct, but is in line with your personal beliefs!

        Ahhhh. Nice, isn’t it?

                Then you’re not one of the morons that person was targeting so there’s no need to defend their reasoning.

                Yours is perfectly solid reasoning outside of an American POTUS context.

          If only Biden was president, and could order shooting neonazis about to take the reigns of power… via an official act that is legally protected?

          The whole “enemies, foreign and domestic” thing…

            Well it sure would be interesting, but I doubt that will happen. And frankly, that’s ok by me if it doesn’t. I prefer my justice to be ethical wherever possible.

              Of course Biden will never do it, he will just allow a domestic enemy to seize power. Trump, however, certainly will. Remember the unmarked vans, with unmarked soldiers, scooping people up in Portland? That was a dry run. Our “Beer Hall Putsch” (Well, one of them, at least).

                I think if they legitimately win the election then killing them isn’t exactly appropriate.

                They shouldn’t have won the election. We’d be in much better shape.

                  Hitler legitimatley won his election too. And someone should have shot him in the head at the moment, too.

                  They shouldn’t have won the election. We’d be in much better shape.

                  But then the neoliberals wouldn’t be able to pretend to want to do something for the next 4 years, while selling us out down the river, so their portfolios can improve.

          Democrats should be forced to pass electoral reform in all blue states as punishment for losing to the world’s biggest loser twice. Blue conservatives no longer deserve to go it alone against the republicans.

    it’s great to see biden’s doing pretty much all of the absolutely fucking nothing that i expected, before he politely and peacefully hands us all over to fascism.

    get fucked joe. the ineffectual finger-wagging and sternly worded bullshit response to the country collapsing around you is a big reason people can’t stand democrats

    edit: LOL that’s a perfect analogy-- biden’s response to everything = downvotes/mad face emoji 😡

        You mean the story where Rudy Guiliani was duplicating, disseminating, and transporting across state lines, child pornography, and doing so knowingly for weeks before considering turning it over to law enforcement.

        Which he never turned over?

            Shockingly? Turns out it was all largely fabricated, and was Russian disinformation… I mean, if it wasn’t, why wasn’t Guiliani charged with duplicating and disseminating child pornography across state lines?

            That’s like felony time, in club fed, minimally 15 years, assuming only a single 30 second clip…

                The laptop that purportedly contained child porn, which was duplicated several times, and distributed by Rudy Guiliani?

                That laptop?

                The one where the “source” for this was actually arrested for lying about it?

                Or the laptop that was handed to a blind man, who cannot confirm it was Hunter Biden?

                Are you familiar with the idea of “Occam’s Razor”?

      True. The most effective means of governing is by executive orders, issued weeks before leaving office, that can be immediately overturned by the incoming president.

      Biden should be impeached and in jail himself for numerous violations related to shipping weappons to genociders. But we arent a country of laws anymore, so I guess geriatric virtue signalling via finger wagging is fine. Whats it even matter anymore.

        388-58 was the vote on sending the last aid package in Congress. Those are the same people who vote to impeach the president. They write the checks for it as well. And have been a Majority Republican house since before Biden got in. Not that it would have changed much with how the Democrats have been voting in terms of Israel.

        Point being, why would Congress vote to impeach someone doing what they wanted?

        Hey, we allow American children to work in mines, they love it! We’ve also found this neat method at our borders that if you separate families they get really desperate and stressed out. To the point they might just turn around and leave if we ever let them out of our camps.
