Shit, we should also ban insta, fb, and google places while we’re at it.
Don’t tempt me with a good time.
We are on a social network platform too?
“Issues related to voter suppression/interference, political ads and misinformation policies.”
It’s nice to see meta have learned from their own mistakes and are now trying to protect
democracyprofits.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook–Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal
The reason we have a Chinese competitor that we cannot directly control is that Meta is buying up every promising US platform and shutting it down. Or just trying to copy it so that the competitor does not get enough users
So what does Zuck do when Trump uses an exec order to stay the ban and pushes Republicans to reverse it?
It’s already back up lmfao
Yep. But this doesn’t answer their question. I’m rooting for a Tik Tok CEO vs Meta CEO battle Royale at the inauguration.
Algorithmically quell his own cybernetic rage.
Why does everyone think Trumps going to allow Tiktok. He doesn’t like China, and Musk is going to push him to ban it so he can buy it.
ByteDance has a lot of money. Trump likes money. Trump’s only leverage over ByteDance is allowing TikTok, so he’ll do that in exchange for money
Zuckerberg and Meta are much more centralized in the US, which gives Trump far more options in terms of what he can offer them. Trump will give Zuckerberg something else to placate him. Probably lots of cheap H-1B labor
I haven’t seen a comment age this quickly and poorly in quite some time.
If you haven’t noticed Trump says a lot of things. He’s always talking out of both sides of his mouth. I’ll believe it when I see it, we’ll see tomorrow. Also, a delay is not overturning it.
It’s back now with a message thanking President Trump.
I don’t know why I do this to myself, but I read through Meta’s disclosure
Every single lobbyist I looked at worked in DC before becoming a lobbyist. I knew it happened a lot, but it’s really depressing to see
Also, why do these disclosures not require companies to specify how the money was spent? There are only ~20 different lobbyists mentioned, and Meta spent 7.6M in a single quarter
I think this was less about lobbying and more about bogeyman of China.
AIPAC lobbying also
$7.6 million, pocket change to these chumps. Up the ante!
