Comment on What is going on with Facebook's (Meta) new community guidelines?

swordgeek@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

Remember, Facebook started out as a non-consensual ‘hot or not’ site, to rate women at Zuck’s college.

As they grew, they became loudly pious about their ‘strong content guidelines’ (i.e. you could get banned for a mastectomy picture), but still didn’t care about hate speech. Only a month ago, FB refused to take down an explicit call for the lynching of PM Justin Trudeau, and another saying trans kids need to be “raken to the train station.” Neither of these violated FB’s content regulations.

So framing this as Zuck bending to Trump is misleading. It’s much more him taking off his mask of civility, finally.

Like Trump, like Musk, like Poilievre, the man is a weasel and a Nazi.
