    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

    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!!

    🤡 🤦‍♀️ 🖕 🖕

    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

    Peter Thiel was the first outside investor in Facebook, and Zuck is close with him and all the other “dark enlightenment” tech bros

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