@vmachiel So you're saying that policy changes Meta announced yesterday helped Trump win a second term two months ago?

@gruber no, but why the wait and see attitude. It’s clear what meta is about.

Let lies reign on their platform, so more crazy right wing politicians get elected. Those come with policies that will make them more money.

They don’t care if the world goes up in flames. All they see is the line going up. That’s why wait and see is too passive imo.

@vmachiel There's no correlation between the party in the White House and Meta's revenue or profit growth. (The flatlines in 2022 are universally attributed to iOS's App Tracking Transparency, not anything from the Biden Admin.)

@gruber well it’s had an impact here in Europe. And it will have more impact in the US as well.

No fact checking means more anger posting which snowballs into full on lies and misinformation. It makes the world worse. It elects the MTGs. People echo each others lies. But engagement goes up which is good for meta.

For profit social networks are bad for society. And no fact checking turns them into weapons.
