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.

Failing implies trying

[-] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

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!!

🤡 🤦‍♀️ 🖕 🖕

Alleged pedophile Mark Zuckerberg?

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Didn't he die a few weeks ago?

Zuckerberg put in his will "Anyone who kills me gets a billion dollars". Bold move, but apparently legal!

He has a sex change, she's Marquette now.

Please tell me she got a proper hair stylist.

As the power driver bottom in a clown pegging chain orgy at a pagan easter festival in marin county, yes. I was one of the clowns.

[-] Bloomcole@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Failing to stop.

Also known as aiding and abetting.

[-] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 5 points 1 week ago

Yep. They're intentionally propagating it.

"failing" implies that's the goal, when we know that meta promotes disinformation because it benefits them

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

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Worse, they're actively incentivizing it.

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

*every single human language in existence.

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Are they still "failing" if they're doing it on purpose?

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.

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