Headlines that basically say the same shit twice really are swell.
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?
Not really. It’s just a fancy forum.
Social network platforms have corporate controlled algorithms designed to maximize addition. At the very least, you would need a “friend” system and who the fuck follows each other on here? When I was using reddit, one person followed me and it was a bot.
As if the US government could understand this platform. It will be a shame to lose lemmy.world though
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
As if anti-trust law doesn’t exist. It is crazy to me nowadays, most tech startups goal from the ver start is to sale to a big tech competitor. This certainly should have anti-trust implications.
“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

So what does Zuck do when Trump uses an exec order to stay the ban and pushes Republicans to reverse it?
Trumps just gonna keep him hanging hoping he’s in the inner circle and bleeding him dry in the process.
Algorithmically quell his own cybernetic rage.
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.
Tom just sitting on the sidelines, eating popcorn.
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.
Who asked for a 50% stake in the company.
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!
