Very likely! I wouldn’t have thought so until you mentioned it

1. Mark hasn’t learned his lesson because look at the data they are trying to collect. He’s trying to collect so much data that it has become a meme. Do you realize how much information can be captured by using that new Twitter replacement? It seems like you just plugged your ears, screamed “Lalalalala”, then buried your head in the ground
2. “He learned his lesson” was also used by a senator to justify trump and he then led a coup against the US government. The rich don’t learn lessons, they get slaps on the wrist. Nothing has changed from 2016 when this all went down.
3. The government will NOT do anything because they are lobbied by ISP providers. There’s no reason for them to make any changes because they are making bank as is. We peasants don’t pose any risk and we certainly aren’t making the elected officials millionaires so why should they listen to us?

I wrote my senior paper at university on data collection and facebooks role in all that. You are so off base with your comment, it’s sad. That “paranoid nerd” you just shit on is entirely right and you sound like a reductionist oaf

Don’t forget that the groups they targeted were as small as 10 people. Facebook is the reason our world is a shit as it is now. Fuck meta. Fuck Facebook. Fuck all of them. I despise them with deeper hatred than 99.99% of the things I have ever known

They handed data to bad actors who then targeted groups of citizens down to groups of 10 people on social media with hypertargeted “dark ads”. These ads were only shown once and couldn’t be found again.

This targeting was focused at all groups, all races/ages/demographics/political leaning but decently increased towards the green party candidate for a good second towards the end of the election. It was mainly positive towards Trump but focused heavily on all candidates to sow division.

In spending, if I remember correctly, Clinton spent like 8mil on social media campaigns. Trump spent something like 180mil.

Facebook facilitated and was complicit in all of this. They collected the data of how long we looked at things, where our cursors were, who we communicated with, etc. They benefited from all of this through the ads.

I did my senior college paper on the fuckery that Facebook and Meta has caused and how harmful their data collection has been to American society. I will stop using any services that are bought up by Fuckerberg.

I do not want them in the fediverse and will not tolerate them for a second. The moment they form an instance is the moment I block their instance.

Fuck. Meta.

Fuck spez. Even if they reversed their decision, they have made it very clear how much they will take control if they don’t get their way. They have repeatedly mistreated the mods, devs, and community. They slandered a man with lies that could end his career because of why? To gain social points?

Spez has shown what reddit really is and I am done
