    Meta knows they don’t have enough CPUs and memory to run fact checkers on all the Trump supporters.

      Probably more that sending people down fascist conspirasist rabbit holes makes it easy to put ads in front of eyeballs

    So, even more lies, bollocks and conspiracy theories will flood it. It’ll turn into the firehouse of shite that Twitter (know known as X) has become.

    And the gullible muppets will soak it all up because there will be nobody to stop it.

    European (and I’m including us here in UK) governments need to get off of their fat arses and bin FB and it’s brethren.

    And fund Ukraine whilst they are at it. We need to distance ourselves from USA as it’s turned into a bigoted, fascist shithole.

      I hope Musk stirs shit even more so that he’s easier to ban.
