    With all due respect, please touch grass. “For the sake of humanity”? “Zuckerprick”? “A vehicle for fascist control of the population”?

    You sound like a thirteen year old.

      To be fair, Facebook employs a man named Joel Kaplan as their head of Global Policy. Formerly their head of US Policy, Formerly a Bush White House Toady.

      Kaplan is the reason who all the right-wing conspiracy websites pretending to be news orgs weren’t banned from Facebook news feeds. He personally exempted them all from community standards and Facebook terms of service about lying and shit. He then ordered left leaning news to be scrutinized more heavily.

      He’s been stuffing the ranks of Facebook’s middle and upper management with loyalty tested conservatives.

      Kaplan also refused to make changes to the algorithm that would have helped fight hate speech, because anger and outrage drive higher engagement.

      He’s also ignoring at least three ongoing racial cleansings that are being actively powered by Facebook, because they’re happening in countries that are not the US.

      So in a way, it really is a vehicle for the fascist control of the population, or at least a fascist friendly media stream.
