Maybe facebook should be responsible for the monetary damages they create on society.

As someone that had an elderly mother that was scammed multiple times because of sinister bullshit like this, Facebook can’t burn to the ground fast enough, and fuckface Zuck needs to swing from the gallows.

Meta: ‘We sell scammers shovels’
After all, gotta show solidarity with your peers.

Is Mark Cuban a good guy? Or just a less evil billionaire?
irotsoma@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
Just less evil. There is no way to ethically acquire that amount of money. Most people don’t truly understand how much money $1 billion USD actually is. And the only way to achieve it is to exploit others, make money off of investing in the exploitation, etc.

Read his Wikipedia page. I think you’ll come to find he really is a rare good guy. No evidence I see of making his $$ off the backs of slave-wage labor.

i wouldnt call his drug site exploiting at all, look into his past history on wiki.

He made a website that yahoo bought during the dot com boom for $5 billion.

Less evil. This is his work, arguably more than the others have done: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_Plus_Drugs

He’s victim of fake ads that impersonate him. Does he intend to sue Facebook and the ads creators? He has the means to hire a lawyer.
Facebook and Mark Z have no shame, and users don’t care enough to leave, so speaking up is not enough to make Facebook behave.

If I commit a 100.000 fraud, I’ll go to jail for quite a while
Zucker commits 16 billion Doll in fraud, will he go to jail, and will he go to jail for a fee million years at least?
Of course not, they’ll pay a “penaltiy” tax and that will be the end of it

Are normal people still on FB? I thought it would be all conservatives by now. If only conservatives are getting ripped off, then no harm done. I only care if actual humans are being harmed.

It’s really useful for local groups and events.

That’s 10%. The reputational damage may be worth it.

The fact that something like Facebook exists without public oversight or control is absolutely insane … if your national public rely heavily on one source for the majority of the information and communication, what do you think is going to happen? Is like saying that there is only one company that owns every newspaper across the country and they are allowed to self regulate themselves.
It’s like Joseph Goebbels said about media and communications ‘Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.’
Except this time, we’ve allowed multinational corporations at the keyboard to play the music that we all dance to
