      You are clueless, Mr. Zuckerberg, as is expected from someone so removed from the street.

      This is Mark Zuckerberg's vision of the future for everyone. As expected, he writes with his eye shut, assuming this wasn't written by his AI bot.

      "Humanity has witnessed many transformative advances. Each time there is fear that people will be left behind. But each time humanity has come out with more people sharing greater prosperity, health, and freedom. We believe this will be true with AI as well, and the abundance of the future can be shared by everyone."

      And this comes from the man who enabled American dictatorship and actively paid to dismantle the rule of law, regulation, and oversight.

      "The history of democracy and economics has shown that there is no single objective answer to how people define the best life, and therefore the best approach is letting people decide what matters in their own lives."

Underscoring how much Meta has dropped the ball on this one, even X — owned by Elon Musk, who performed two suspiciously Sieg Heil-looking salutes back in 2025 — has banned The Noticer for violating its “hateful profile policy.”

                  Meta Caught Paying Nazis to Post on Facebook

                  #Hate, unfortunately, sells. Right-wing extremism researcher Kaz Ross told *ABC” that #Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”

                  It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues.

                  #Facebook is far from the only platform that’s gotten alarmingly chummy with extremists. Earlier this year, #X awarded the $1 million first place prize of its article writing contest to a proudly self-proclaimed Nazi.

                  In a statement, Meta didn’t address specific questions about the pages it was awarding money to, but said it was “important to distinguish between speech that is offensive and content that could potentially lead to offline violence”.

                  “Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added

                        FACEBOOK IS TOXIC. META IS AWFUL.
                        WHY CONTINUE FEEDING IT? 💎

                        Nearly everyone complains about Facebook and Meta.

                        The algorithms are toxic.

                        The advertising is invasive.

                        The outrage is manufactured.

                        CHILDREN ARE BEING HARMED.

                        Privacy is disappearing.

                        And then millions of people open Facebook or Instagram.

                        Again.

                        And again.

                        I genuinely do not understand it.

                        If you believe these companies are damaging children, manipulating attention, and making billions from human vulnerability, why are you still giving them your presence?

                        Especially the parents.

                        If Facebook and Instagram are unhealthy for your children, what exactly are you modeling by remaining there yourself?

                        “We know this place is harmful, darling, but Mummy and Daddy have photographs to look at.”

                        I left Meta years ago.

                        I didn’t die.

                        My friends did not evaporate.

                        Civilization continued.

                        There is email.

                        There are phones.

                        THERE IS THE OPEN WEB.

                        There is even the terrifying possibility of seeing another human being, god forbid, in person.

                        Meta survives because people who complain about it continue supplying exactly what it needs:

                        Their attention.

                        Their relationships.

                        Their outrage.

                        THEIR CHILDREN.

                        You do not have to wait for Zuckerberg to become a better person.

                        You can simply leave today.

                        The door swings both ways.

                              "When Meta used superstar Kylie Jenner to promote its sleek new line of “spy glasses”, the social media company hoped the devices would reach the same broad acceptance that tablets and smartwatches have found before them.

                              But those plans have hit a snag in the UK, where venues from elite restaurants to popular pub chains have banned the £359 glasses in order to preserve the privacy of customers and staff.

                              Celebrated restaurateur Jeremy King, owner of London venues including Simpsons in the Strand, Arlington and The Park, said guests should not wear the recording glasses.

                              He told the Guardian: “I would never knowingly allow any invasion of guest privacy other than with the eyes we were born with.”"

He ordered the social media giant to pay $567 million into a fund meant to remedy harms caused by Facebook and . That comes on top of $375 million in civil penalties a jury previously imposed in the same case, bringing Meta’s total legal bill to $942 million.

                                    The company is facing thousands of lawsuits across the country from state governments, school districts, families, and individuals.

                                    , , , and are seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties for allegations that Facebook and Instagram were designed to addict users.

                                    For anyone keeping score, that figure is just under Meta’s market capitalization of roughly $1.5 trillion.

                                            The correct thing for Big Tech is to follow the rules instead of getting the Trump administration involved. Big Tech is now very much part of the problem.

                                            Is it time to vote with your feet and choose alternatives to Big Tech? I would think so.

                                                  Or even just to hear informed shortform opinions about it.

                                                    Meta is also one of the few social media giants that discloses any information about who it is paying. Other platforms, like YouTube, TikTok and Twitter, have very little transparency in this space.

                                                            I guess they weren't aware that the person you block gets notified of the block?

                                                            It's funny because I have to send someone a message like that because the Morel Orels who wrote Snac don't believe in allowing you to block people, since muting them is much more polite and totally not sneaky at all. But everyone else pretty much can do a straight out Block.

                                                            Honestly I think you should be able to supply a helpful message explaining your Block, in whatever creative curse words people want to use.

                                                                Save this code as the url of a new bookmark (bookmarklet) and name it something like "Insta Redirect":

                                                                Whenever you land on an instagram page just select this new bookmark(let) and it will redirect you. So now you can view that restaurants menu without being asked to make an account -- until all these businesses get off Meta apps. -_-
