Big tech showing its true colors.
Daily reminder that if you still have an account- you are supporting this shit. No excuses.
AI corpos like the far-right, because petty dictators like to make random things illegal, which is a perfect opportunity to sell surveillance AI tech.
AI will make sure, you won’t be gay even in the closet.
Meanwhile, today I got a Facebook ad of a girl fingering herself. I didn’t hate it, it just surprised me.
While advertising for literal scams. About 10% of Meta’s revenue is from literal scams.
10%? Seems low
Facebook app is basically just spyware.
Whenever you have too much moderation and rules just know that companies can leverage that however they want, same with Reddit and how I got wrongfully banned and many others, may companies never rule the world.
I was sent here for “inciting violence.” In reality, me and the others banned were celebrating the torching of teslas at dealerships.
Refusal to mourn the inconvenience of billionaires is a violent act on Reddit.
That’s the ironic part isn’t it, It’s like a Nazi reports you for “inciting violence” and then Reddit says well technically you incited violence somehow, oh by the way this guy that reported you with malicious intent walks away free, which is probably what happened.
Unless a bot spotted a word or something, because I was literally banned by a bot.
Oh they are certainly automating the entire thing. This is all crumbling in spectacular fashion.
The rewards of content moderation people begged for.
Well then, time to shut down your Meta account if you still have one. Also do likewise for TikTok and Twitter.
Anyone that still has a facebook account by this point deserves whatever happens.
Facebook being a festering pile of hateful bullshit hasnt been a secret for well over a decade at this point.
But I have so many weak excuses with incredibly easy solutions, along with very light social pressure to continue using them, it’s impossible.
man I miss pre-facism out in the open america
So like… Before European colonization ?
pre nixon, definitely pre regan- post war era / new deal
It was always fucked. Our entire country was founded on slavery and imperialism, on the bones of a genocide.
So the whole world was. People get killed replaced absorbed whatever. It is human history no point crying about it. Or should we all kill ourselves because we have all had an ancestor who screwed somebody over or we wouldn’t be here.
progress is a slow, incremental process. sometimes it takes a few steps back.
so just the imperialism meatgrinder of stuff like the vietnam war and a time of racial segregation domestically and the immediate aftermath of its end (bc everyone totally respected the change and that’s why we aren’t still dealing with the impacts to this day with elder boomer maga shitheads that literally grew up with it). these were definitely great times and a wonderful country to want to return to and you’re definitely not holding up some whitewashed bullshit in your mind.
Like literally telling someone they can’t use a water fountain because they’re too black and violently invading a country for decades because they chose a system of government you disagree with seems pretty right wing authoritarian but maybe that’s just me. America has literally always been fascist, there’s just a few times in more recent history where ultra fascists like the Nazis gave us a villain to be like “well at least we aren’t that” as we send the cia into Latin America to overthrow a democratically elected government that once again doesn’t align with capitalism
not the social and capitalist issues of the time, in particular, but the time and policies that created the middle class.
Do you not realize they were created on the backs of oppression? This is part of why the middle class is a myth, we are all working class comrade
war is oppression. progress happens in small steps.
Exactly
When was this?
When was this?
1491
Sometimes I like to think about what the world would look like if Columbus sank in the Atlantic. How long until another European sailed West?
Thanks
They’ll give human traffickers 17 second chances and allow scammers to proliferate on their platform, but abortion resources and LGBTQ+ spaces? Straight to jail.
Glad I don’t go on FB anymore.
Scammers make FB a lot of money.
EU is making a rule that would make FB liable to the financial damage of the scammers if they don’t remove scammer posts. Of course the platforms scream bloody murder.
Consequences for thee
Move fast, break things, pay fines.
Move fast, break things, pay fines, *make even your own family despise you for being a prick
I never had it for years after cancelling it back when you had to be dead to get rid of Facebook and last year I created an account just for marketplace, because Craigslist sucks now. Everytime I open Facebook there some rediculous AI bullshit trying to entice me on my way to marketplace.
So your saying it was a mistake to return to facebook?
Well, I go past the AI shit and don’t click it while going Straight to marketplace. They can track me on marketplace, but I don’t click anything on the regular Facebook stuff. I also don’t have any contacts on Facebook other than the people I sell and buy from. Not perdect
How dare you? 😲
This rich fucks that are executing their end game, if you all haven’t been paying attention, thinks he can hide deep in a bunker and ride this all out! Him, Thiel, and Musk will have speedy trails and speedier sentences, some are saying.
bunkers are great when you want to get away from natural disasters or even manmade ones.
bunkers have a lot in common with tombs though.
- underground
- reliant on air from outside
- filled with many expensive possessions
- easily sealed from the outside
- preserves corpses
Fascist companies in a fascist country. What do you expect?
Oh, speaking as A Gay, I stepped away from Meta services many years ago.
We can be fabulous elsewhere.
We can be fabulous anywhere.
🏳️🌈
Goddamn right…and I’m a non fabulous, fuck meta and be fabulous… Definitely makes the world a nicer place to live!
You don’t need to suck dick to be fabulous.
Do it on your own terms
That’s… beautiful.
The Velvet Mafia is the best!
Good I wish everyone would stop using meta/fb/Whatsapp.
My volunteering group won’t switch away from WhatsApp :( doesn’t help that half of our volunteers are over the age of 55. It’s the only reason I still have the damn app installed.
For people in the same or a similar boat: reduction is better than nothing. I got all my other contacts to switch over to signal. It’s only that one volunteer group left.
Hopefully the end is near with EU demanded Whatsapp Gateway!
Me too I wish everyone stopped using Meta, Facebook, instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and all of the Meta stuff
I didn’t stop.
/because I never started
Facebook: [Has always been a surveillance apparatus intent on exploiting users]
Facebook: [Does what it does]
Everybody: [Continues to pour money and information into facebook ‘because’]
Me: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!
Everybody: [Does not wake up]
It is so bizzare to me why the rest of the world has been so comfortable with meta services and been using their social media for years when they’ve come across as a company to not trust with that information
But, I’m probably the weird one looking like im putting tinfoil on my windows and head to the average person.
Zuckerberg: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuckerberg: Just ask
Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don’t know why.
Zuckerberg: They “trust me”
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucksMe: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!
What Westerners don’t realise is that Facebook’s main audience are people from developing countries. FB provides free and unlimited access to everyone even without internet data. But the actual price? You guessed it.
Didn’t Facebook show their true colours with surveillance and right wing content a few years after they started?
The very concept itself is insane. Give us your real name, we own your data, etc etc.
Right right, if by “everybody” you mean “definitely not everybody”.
