“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness” what???
What even are their policies and community guidelines for? Just publicity. Or as a tool in other cases. Corrupt liars.
META’s job is to get people to click and comment. It’s all marketing that I walked away from years ago.
Between this, Cambridge Analytica, and the overall enshittification of society it has brought, can Meta be fucking dissolved already? Or would that be too harmful to the global dopamine hit supply?
Man, this really isn’t the future I was picturing when I was growing up, but here we are.

Hey now, it isn’t only Nazis…
It’s also an overwhelmingly vast amount of CSAM…
:sigh: I hate when people just tell outright lies for clicks.
Did bad people get money from Meta? Yes.
Did Meta actively pay bad people to post bad content? NO. This is like saying that Youtube had hired people to post AI videos targeting children because they pay people part of the advertising they sell on videos. It is not the same thing at all.
If a Walmart employee beats you up while they’re on the clock, these twits would post “WALMART HIRED AND PAID PEOPLE TO BEAT INNOCENT PEOPLE UP”.
Am I saying Meta is great? No1 Fuck you no! But is this headline bullshit? YES IT IS.
The best kind of content for engagement is hate. You get users angrily defending both sides, stacks of comments, reposts (both in support of, and "OMG look at what they’re saying), the whole shebang.
Meta has learned that promotion of hate content pays off handsomely on those sweet sweet engagement metrics that shareholders love.
So of course they’re going to pay the hatemongers for content. Even when their own content policies ostensibly forbid it. Because that’s what makes line go up and they’ll do anything to keep that happening.
